We spent a magical morning 
visiting Blenheim Palace once more
The tale of the Nutcracker Prince 
recreated in festive decor 

As we entered the Palace
the spectacle took our breath away 
Extravagant and exuberant 
a wondrous and lavish display

We followed the story of Clara
delighted by the enchanting sights 
Blown away by the amazing sets
dazzled by the twinkling lights

The fairy tale story came to life
as we wandered through the grand rooms
Each one exquisitely transformed 
with decorations and costumes

We start at the toymaker’s workshop
then on to the Rat King defeat
Through the glistening Land of Snow 
and over Russian roof tops beneath 

In the frosted Land of Flowers
Dewdrop fairies shimmer and shine 
Next Mother Ginger welcomes us all 
to the Kingdom of Sweets, devine 

We meet the Sugar Plum Fairy
as she dances around and around
Turn the key to the music box 
see her move to the tinkling sound  

The Nutcracker Prince comes to life 
in yet another amazing scene 
This fantastical winter wonderland
where nothing is quite as it seems

In this great land of make believe 
wishes and dreams really do come true
We left the Palace feeling festive
believing…we have lots and lots to do
