It also takes a look at some of our more light-hearted seasonal traditions: from gift-giving and kissing under the mistletoe, to songs about lords a-leaping and ladies dancing, and the custom of decking the halls with greenery and candles. St. Nicholas, Sinterklaas, Kris Kringle, Father Christmas, and Santa Claus all drop by as well.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFollowing the show, we'll fill out  the evening with our First Friday musical guests from the women's a capella group High Desert Harmony, who will help us sing in the season!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"x_elementToProof\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePlanetarium and Nevada Historical Society members can use code Member to receive half off ticket price.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"x_elementToProof\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: Calibri, Helvetica, sans-serif, serif, EmojiFont; font-size: 12pt; color: #000000 !important;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #ff2a00;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #ff2a00; text-decoration: underline;\"\u003ePlease note:\u003c\/span\u003e For this special program, the content featured is not created for very young children.
