Disclosure: Complimentary tickets provided for this post. However, all opinions are mine.
I absolutely love the Christmas season – the holiday spirit, the giving, the joy in my kids and the music! As soon as Christmas music starts on the radios, that’s all I will listen to until New Year’s. It’s drives my husband crazy, but I can’t help it – I just love holiday music!
There’s something about Christmas music that puts me in a good mood and makes me smile. I can’t get enough of it and when the weather is cold and the snow is falling holiday tunes uplift my spirits.
If you are like me and just love the holiday season, you will want to check out these six amazing musical performances in Omaha. All are unique performances guaranteed to get you in the holiday spirit.
