First lady Laura Bush, who helped organize the event, gave the children a short explanation of the story behind Piotr Tchaikovsky's Christmas classic, "The Nutcracker." The story, about a little girl and her toys that come to life and dance, was performed by the Washington Ballet and local ballet students in the East Room, where four giant Christmas trees were decorated with red and white ornaments. |
