The Nutcracker is a holiday ritual as familiar and comforting as the tree lighting at Rockefeller Center, the Andy Williams Christmas Special, eggnog with Grandpa, and Bill OReillys feigned indignation over what hed have us believe is a secular war to do away with Christmas. You want a war, OReilly? Squeeze your stiff can into a tutu and take on an army of dancing mice. Forget ACLU lawyers hell-bent on making America godless-- try saving Christmas while youre en pointe, running from a cabal of giant rodents.
