Nutcracker reloaded

J started learning a piano piece from Tchaikovsky's Nutcracker today. Tonight he asked me if we could start reading the story again, since Christmas is  approaching. "And Gustav doesn't know it yet!", he informed me. 

We had a grand time with Nutcracker last year (here, here, here, here, here, and here). 

"I'm especially excited about the battle," he told his mommy.
