Eighth Day of Advent - Fun and Games

Day 8 of Advent

(Mother Ginger and Cubs, from Woodland Nutcracker)

"A huge grizzly bear skated to the foot of the thrones and curtsied.  She blew six times upon a whistle and from beneath her great red and white skirt emerged six cubs with hockey sticks. With Mother Grizzly as referee, the cubs skated a mock practice session.   They chased one another, misbehaved, and two were even sent to the penalty box.""

(This one was a coin toss: Tchaikovsky or the Hockey Night in Canada theme music,  both being well-loved and traditional! )
