Holiday Cheer – “The Nutcracker”
Why schlep into Boston and spend a fortune when a gorgeous version of Tchaikovsky’s THE NUTCRACKER can be seen right here in Gloucester? From the Mariinsky Theater in St. Petersburg, Russia, where the ballet was first staged in 1892, comes this exciting hi-def presentation, and it’s like none you’ve ever seen before.
Come check it out at The Cape Ann Community Cinema at 21 Main Street in Gloucester, and enjoy the show from the comfort of a couch or armchair, and bring your lunch or dinner if you’d like. Also, we’ve got plenty of hot chocolate, coffee and tea, and the best popcorn around.
“The Nutcracker” will be showing on Wednesday the 23rd at 5:00pm & 7:30pm, Tuesday the 24th at 2:30pm and the final show on Saturday the 26th at 2:30pm.
All tickets have been discounted to $15.00.
The Bean Kneads The Dough
At American Flatbread Company they give the kids dough to play with while you wait for your pizza. A good idea that I’d never heard of before.

The Bean Takes A Pleasant Street Picture
While spending an awesome day at the Middle Street Walk events I had a great time chilling with my oldest -The Bean. We stopped off to warm up and enjoy a nice hot cup of Pleasant St Tea and Coffee Co hot chocolate (really delicious)
So I gave her the camera and she snapped this pic from our corner chair.

She has a good eye that little bean of mine.
I love the detailed architecture on this building. Does anyone build new buildings like this any more?
Buoy Painting At Art Haven pics By Thom Falzorano
I can’t even believe how many events went down yesterday. How much fun and community involvement and volunteerism went into making it such an incredible day for Gloucester folks to enjoy.
There is so much to cover between the start of the day at City Hall with the Docksiders, Gingerbread House Competition, and hanging out with the Disney Characters.
Then off to Art Haven for Buoy Painting and Ice Sculpting.
Then to watch the star and buoys get placed upon the lobster trap tree.
Quick lunch at Espresso ($7.95 Chicken Marsala rocked).
Hop over to the Cape Ann Museum for a children’s Christmas caroling concert with FOB Mikayla Ciolino.
Then back to City Hall for Christmas play.
To Pleasant St Tea and Coffee Co for killer hot chocolate and a fatastic artisan show.
A quick stroll down Main St to catch up with Janice Lufkin Shea and then back to the homestead.
If you don’t see your pic today it’s only because there is so much content we will be releasing it over the next few days. Everything is getting posted though- fear not.
