We have a winner of Patch's "Nutcracker Tradition" photo contest.

Brooklyn takes her nutcrackers with her everywhere—they are 20+ years old and from Heidelberg in the old West Germany, according to her father, Erik. 

The Ligda family wins two tickets to the Pittsburgh Ballet Theatre's classic story.

Recognized as one of the most popular ballets of all time, "The Nutcracker" is a holiday classic based on the German tale written by E.T.A. Hoffmann and set to the score of Peter Ilyich Tchaikovsky.

Pittsburgh Ballet Theatre's production features more than 210 costumes, 190 performers—including more than 150 students, ages 7 and up—and turn-of-the-century Pittsburgh-themed set design. 

Thanks to all who entered the contest.
