On Sunday December 16th I was invited to participate in the Amway Center‘s Ugly Sweater Social before the Trans Siberian Orchestra Show and to sit in their Suite for the show! I haven’t seen Trans Siberian Orchestra since I was a little girl in Boston, and I am MORE THEN willing to throw on an Ugly Christmas Sweater! So I grabbed up James and Shalon and we headed off to the concert!

Why YES I made the Husband dress all Festive too!!!!

I had a Sweater Vest, A Shirt, A Hair Bow and EVERYTHING was FESTIVE!

When we arrived at the Amway Center we went right up to the social suite to meet up with Jennifer who had little gifties for us.

Why is it that Holiday candy always tastes better?

I had no idea what to expect before the concert started. And while I knew it would be loud and flashy, I had NO idea it would keep me so captivated for the entire show.

Wow….The Trans Siberian Orchestra takes story telling to a WHOLE new level. They had singers, dancers, guitars, lasers, electric violins, fire, raised platforms, and even a few ballads! It took rock concerts and story telling to a whole new level by doing it in a way that nobody has ever done before. I can see why families make this an annual event. And the best part, was that the Trans Siberian Orchestra kept the energy up, and they went loud, flashy, and hard for almost three hours!!! It was amazing!!!

Thank you to Jennifer at The Amway Center for having the three of us and thank you to Trans Siberian Orchestra for making the concert memorable!

Happy Holidays!!!
