Radio City Christmas Spectacular Give Away

Radio City Rockettes. Three words, huge memories.

The earliest I can recall thoughts of becoming a Rockette  involve a tri-fold mirror located on the first floor of our city’s H.C. Prange Co. As soon as I set foot in front of that gorgeous mirror I started a high-stepping chorus line which involved the three of me doing my best interpretation of The Rockettes’ precision dance kicks.

This holiday season, Madison Square Garden Entertainment is giving each one of us an opportunity to bring the Rockettes home with us for the holidays by presenting us with with a colorful and breath-taking pop up book.

My dear readers, when this package arrived on my doorstep my hands shook. When I opened the package, my heart stopped and the little girl in me came rushing back when I opened the fabulous pop up book. The vibrant colors,  the engaging pictures, the intrict cut outs and pop ups were all brilliantly prepared by Brushfire, LTD.

After devouring the book all by myself, I shared it with my six and eight year old children. I didn’t want to zoom in too close to the pop ups, I’m encouraging you to add this to your holiday shopping list so you can be as excited to see the pop ups, too!

But wait, there’s more! Hidden inside the pop up book is a 32-page hardcover storybook of the show. Yup, two books.

If you are lucky enough to be in near Radio City Music Hall, be sure to visit the Rockettes. Tell them I said hi. Don’t tell them about me and the tri-fold mirror. I’m still trying to move past that one.

And if you are interested in purchasing this incredible First-Ever Pop-Up Book of the Radio City Christmas Spectacular, I recommend you head immediately to the Radio City Music Hall Official Shop* and order your book today. I guarantee that sharing this book during the holiday season will become a famliy tradition. The price of the book is $35 (which just happens to be the amount you need to spend at the Radio City Music Hall Official Shop that will entitle you to a free reusable solider shopping  bag).

While exploring the RadioCityChristmas.com website, I also found these super sweet coloring sheets.  My kids are busy working on those right now.

I’ve reviewed the pop-up book and the hardcover book. I’ll admit the quality is phenomal, the craftmanship beyond compare, the price of $35 is quite reasonable when you consider you purchasing a book that is about to become a cherished holiday tradition within your family.

Now I am giving you the opportunity to win this pair of books for yourself.

Lime Zest Parka, Completely Appealing

My favorite feature? The reflective strip that not only circles the outside of the jacket, it circles the inside of the jacket as well.

Why? Because kids don’t always keep their jackets closed and when they are walking in the dark and their coat is flopping open, the reflective strip is ready, willing, and able to pick up (and reflect) car lights! Just check out how well this reflective strip picked up my camera flash!

Now Lands’ End doesn’t brag about lining the inside of the coat with reflective strip but I sure feel better knowing it is there!

Dear Lands’ End,

Thank you for once again going above and beyond the line of duty with great products for my kids. I’ve always expected quality and I know you’ve got my checkbook in mind when you are pricing your items, but to know you are as obsessed with their safety as me? Well, thank you for that unexpected surprise.
