Today, we'd like for you to tell us what show/concert/sports tickets you would like for Christmas. OR, maybe there is a show that you see at Christmas that you would consider a tradition. We'd love to hear what you want to see. To enter, go to Tickemaster (http://www.sunshinerewards.com/shopping/Ticketmaster/), look around, post the show, date, and location that you would choose to see this holiday season OR one that you or someone else might like to get tickets for as a gift.

We will randomly pick one winner at midnight tonight.

Standard rules apply:

I went this year for the first time ever on November 13th and it was fabulous!! I definitely want to make this a yearly tradition and if I was given tickets as a gift to go again, I would see it again a second time in a heartbeat! :heart:

Well, I have always wished to go see the HUskers play - I'd really like to go to Memorial Stadium. But if this is supposed to be about something sooner than next season, I'd like tickets to the Gator Bowl, Jan 1, 2009 vs Clemson, in Jacksonville Fla! Hmm - and a babysitter for the kids so maybe DH and I could enjoy a couple days to ourselves!!:D
ETA - I did detail this again after re-reading the 1st post of the thread (and b4 I saw the chatter thread) - so yes, I looked at Ticketmaster - altho I wouldn't have needed to to know date/location. Sorry, doesn't say specific time of day the bowl game will be played - take that back, if I actually click on buy, it says 1 pm. So I hope this is the proper amount of detail.

As I grew up my mom would always take my ssister and I to the Nutcracker at the Hult Center. They do not use ticketmaster. Anyway last year was the first year that my mom took me and my daughter. What an amazing tradition to pass on down. We are skipping this year but are planning on going next year.

This had been a tradition in our house for many years. With my DH being unemployed/part time employed this year, it wasn't in the cards to do it. Hopefully next year.

It's a wonderful show and remembers the true meaning of the season.
