It's always hard to believe that it's that time of year when the Christmas circulars start showing up in our Sunday newspaper and decorations start appearing in malls and shops, but here we are again with the "Most Wonderful Time of the Year" knocking on our door.  Myrtle Beach has long been a Christmas wonderland of its own with all of the great Christmas shows and the great shopping that is offered around town, and now The Palace Theatre has announced a special presentation of the Nutcracker - A Magical Holiday Treat.

The Coastal Youth Ballet Theatre makes their special visit to The Palace on December 7th and 8th for this holiday classic.  The showtimes are December 7th at 3:00 PM and 7:00 PM and on December 8th at 10:00 AM.  Adult tickets are $25 each and kids 3 to 12 are $10 each.
