The Nutcracker Ballet

It was Christmas Eve. Marie and her brother Fritz peeked into the living room. " Oh, I can't wait for the party to start! ” said Marie.

At last the living room doors were opened, and the children rushed in. The Christmas tree was dazzling! Hundreds of tiny candles twinkled. Sparkling decorations and candies hung from all the branches. Under the tree were so many presents!
