sugarplum and nutcracker morning!

Maria.... 
Wayne just met a nutcracker named Maria... 
and oh she looked divine, with that curlicue mustache drawn above her lips... 
Maria, Maria, Maria!
She was rolling a die for the chance to win a workbench - and she won!
But she decided to roll on for a Colorado trip - and she won!
So she played on for the car - oops!
The price certainly was not right for her on "Let's Make A Deal".
Rather, the die was not cast in her favor!
This couple from that same holiday ballet didn't fare any better.
She had danced as the Sugarplum Fairy and this was her actual costume from that activity.
I don't recall her husband being of a ballet troupe, but he looked mighty fine as the toy soldier!
Their task was to break piggy banks and collect the cash inside, while avoiding the Zonks.
Oops - that's what they found!
I really liked this episode, with its breath of holiday musical ballet!
Hopefully, next year I'll be a volunteer usher for those treats again.
I miss the tiny dancers!
Meanwhile, the mask mandate is once again upon us in Savannah, while the USA death toll from COVID surpasses 1300 people per day... yes, per day.
Here's hoping 2022 finds me again at the Lucas, maybe even breaking my record for Nutcrackers in a single season!
(smile!)

Oh, FYI, those altered song lyrics were penned by me, not improvised by Wayne Brady.
Anyone familiar with his work knows he's quite talented with instantaneous spoofs of songs, and he's even done so on the morning game show, but... not this time.
That was all me, me, and me.
