Scary Christmas Everyone!

"There'll be parties for hosting
Marshmallows for toasting
And caroling out in the snow
They'll be scary ghost stories
And tales of the glories of
Christmases long, long ago"

(from the popular Christmas song
"It's the Most Wonderful Time of the Year")

"We're all familiar with Dickens's A Christmas Story, and the three ghosts who visit Ebenezer Scrooge on Christmas Eve. But few know that Dickens did not pluck this idea of a Christmas haunting out of thin air - that, in fact, he was continuing the age-old tradition in England of telling ghost stories on Christmas Eve, a period of time believed to provide and open door to the other side." ---Mary Beth Crain (from her book Haunted Christmas)

Bob Baker’s Nutcracker

How this collection of rambling, psychedelic episodes about a little girl and vermin royalty became a holiday staple is one of the great mysteries of Christmas (perhaps the composer, Tchaikovsky, sold his soul to Krampus). Fortunately, Bob Baker's famous puppet players elevate this uninspired source material into high art. So, come out and experience one of the truly great treasures of Los Angeles.
