Nine-year-old Vera joined me for the famed Rockettes at Radio City Music Hall, where the Christmas Spectacular runs through December 30. Our journey began with a 3-D sleigh ride through the Big Apple, with Santa and his reindeer. I found it exciting, but Vera said the 3-D made her dizzy, and she watched most of the short film with her Toys"R"Us glasses safely in her lap. The Rockettes sparkled, performing their eye-level kicks under the bright lights in short evergreen velvet dresses and shiny silver-heeled tap shoes. Despite the dancing ballerina bears, the "Nutcracker" number did not hold Vera's interest: "I got bored when they were dancing forever and ever and wouldn't stop!" But the show redeemed itself when the Rockettes became wooden soldiers; this classic was her favorite. "The Living Nativity" closed the show. Since Vera is Jewish, she suggested omitting that part. "It confused me," she said. —Emily Moellman
