Nutcracker & Handmade Gifts

The Insomnia Project Holiday Episodes are back! 

Every day in December we will feature a different holiday themed episode with a festive feel. Some will be from Holidays past and some will be from Holiday present and if you give us your idea for an episode they will be featured in a Holiday future episode. Regardless sit back with a warm cup of cider, tea, cocoa, vin brulé, latte with pumpkin spice and enjoy the cheer we share with you. 

We start today’s episode with the Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy from Tchaikovsky which leads us down a lengthy chat about the story that ballet is set to. Then we discuss handmade gifts and if we are fans of receiving or giving them.
