Every year, our foursome (Caleb and I + Erin and Jared) go see a Christmas show that a giant, local church puts on every year. Would you believe me if I said they "sold" (remember, this is a free event) over 100K tickets in the first 24 hours? It blows my mind how much work and dedication these people go through for a free event for the community, but I think its one of the best Cincinnati traditions our town offers, and we sure look forward to it every year! Pretty sure this marks our 5th year in a row attending! We didn't think we'd be able to make it this year but plenty of people "returned" tickets for dates they could no longer make, and Erin scored us some amazing seats on the floor!
The show was absolutely amazing, as usual. The only difference this year was that we went on a random Tuesday, instead of a Friday or Saturday. It's much busier on a weekend, with photo ops, and tons of free food...but it didn't bum us out one bit. We still got free cookies (I at least snagged a couple), snapped a few photos together, and had an amazing time. By the end of the show, I was almost in tears. What a fun reminder that no matter what we do in life, God will always be waiting, with open arms!! Love that. So, all in all, we had an amazing night...and I'm so happy to keep the tradition alive!
So glad y'all got tickets! What makes it so amazing? The music and messages? Or just a little bit of everything?
