Well, it's beginning to look a lot like Christmas around here! In this next week alone, Walton Arts Center has four different shows with six performances to round out the end of 2011. Manhattan Transfer will perform Thursday, December 15; Holiday Cocktails with Larry Miller is Friday, December 16; The Nutcracker by The Moscow Classical Ballet is here for three performances December 17 & 18; and next week Asleep at the Wheel brings their holiday show 'Santa Loves to Boogie' on December 22.

Our resident company, TheatreSquared is currently performing their interpretation of "It's a Wonderful Life" through January 1, 2012. Times and dates vary, and can be found on their website.

When we're not busy preparing for these shows, we like to take a little time to ourselves and indulge in our own holiday favorites. "Miracle on 34th Street", "A Christmas Story", "How the Grinch Stole Christmas", "Love Actually" and "Home Alone" are just a few of the staff favorites at Walton Arts Center. Today we found this fun article, "12 Things You Probably Didn't Know about the movie 'Home Alone'." It certainly gave us some laughs, so take a minute to test your knowledge of Home Alone facts.

Guess who's coming AFTER the holidays are over??
