The story is what drew us.
The show, Silent Night, is based on the Christmas Truce, a series of spontaneous cease-fires along the Western front in World War I around Christmas 1914.
Four Reasons to Love Theater
My husband and I have both been drawn to theater for years. I took some theater history classes in college, and he performed in a handful of community productions. We met when a big group of friends went to a play and then dinner afterward. When we married two years later, we merged our lives, our households, and our season tickets to the theater.
Here are a few reasons why I love theater and you might too:
The Girl in the Blue Hat Painting
Decorative Only
The Arts Center a few miles from our house holds a pottery sale every year in the spring and fall. My husband and I go every fall, often with an eye toward Christmas shopping. Bowls and cups of every shape and size, created by instructors and students, are offered for sale at very reasonable prices.
They're almost too reasonable, because we always bring home a piece or two.

Orcas Island Pottery
Recently, I wrote about the beauty of hands, and it reminded me of a trip we took several years ago to Orcas Island, one of the San Juan Islands off the coast of Washington. We flew into Seattle and then took a ferry to the quiet island with quaint villages and great outdoor recreational opportunities.
