                    [Title] => My Favorite Things on Christmas
                    [Summary] =>

You know what I’ve found to be the ultimate family treat? Catching The Sound of Music from the VIP box of the Newport Performing Arts Theatre. Mind you, all four components — Sound of Music, VIP box, Newport Theatre, and, course, blood relatives  must be present to deserve such an accolade.
