This original ballet, based on Clement C. Moore's familiar poem and set to familiar Christmas music, has become a holiday tradition in Grand Rapids. Mischievous mice, dancing stockings, and Santa with his sleigh and prancing reindeer combine to create a magical holiday treat.

A short while later, the situation takes a dramatic turn with the Cat on one branch, the Bird on another and the Wolf circling round and round beneath them. A predicament to say the least! Join Peter and the hunters as they try to catch the Wolf.
