CLOSING NOTES
I’ll leave you with..

A SAVE THE DATE: Trans-Siberian Orchestra - The Ghosts of Christmas Eve Tour • Sat Dec 13, 2025 • 7PM

If you know, you know. TSO is the kind of holiday rock opera fever dream that makes you feel like you’re witnessing Santa train dragons with pyrotechnics and a double-neck guitar. I always like to get my tickets a little early. 🎄⚡
