Just yesterday, Greg and I met some of our family in Nashville for a wonderful pre-Christmas celebration. We had lunch at the four-star Capitol Grille at The Hermitage Hotel in downtown Nashville, Tennessee.
Downtown Nashville
This exquisite hotel was all dressed up in its Christmas finery. It was, in fact, awe-inspiring. It made me want to run home and decorate, but it would be hard to come up to the splendor of this place.
After dining on a delicious lunch and soaking up the opulent atmosphere of the hotel, we went on to another superlative experience, the annual Nashville Ballet's performance of "Nashville's Nutcracker" to see our little niece who was talented enough to be one of the dancers with this stellar dance company. The lovely, familiar "Nutcracker" music was provided by no less than the Nashville Symphony.

I'm about to run out of superlatives to describe this fantastic day.
I guess I'll just end this post with the words of someone else:
"Be merry all, be merry all,
With holly dress the festive hall,
Prepare the song, the feast, the ball,
To welcome merry Christmas."
-William Robert Spencer
