Cindy Lou Who

One of the perks of living in San Diego is spending time in nearby Balboa Park.

During the holiday season, THE GRINCH is playing at the Old Globe Theatre.

If you haven't seen a performance, you should.

"You're a mean one, Mr. Grinch"

Old Globe Theatre.

 Prior to the show, there was time to admire holiday outfits and pose in front of the tree.

Even express some holiday joy!

The family seated next to us had been coming to the show for every one of the 16 years it has been there and their grown children were still getting a kick out of it, as did we!

Middle, 2nd row balcony, great seats, by the way.

The sets, the costumes, the music "Fah Who Doraze".

Whoville in all its splendor!

Just before the curtain went up --- oh, the anticipation!

One last look at the sparkly tree as we hum a few carols on the way to the car.
