Christmas traditions. I love ’em! My list of traditions is long, and getting longer every year.
I’ll name a couple.
Cutting down the Christmas tree and decorating it while listening to Christmas music and drinking eggnog, checking out the holiday train displays, horse and buggy rides downtown, Shilitoes Elves, driving around in our jammies with hot chocolate and looking at Christmas lights (we call it Cocoa Jammy Jam), helping with the Angel Tree at church, seeing Awaited, Christmas Eve Service, making green holly cookies with the kids, and finding a live Nativity Scene are just a few of my favorite traditions.
I.LOVE.CHRISTMAS!!
Making a big bowl of popcorn and watching How the Grinch Stole Christmas on TV is also one of the things we gotta do every single year. (Of course, so is watching National Lampoons Christmas Vacation and Elf!) This year I’m adding ….watching How the Grinch Stole Christmas THE MUSICAL at the Aronoff Center in Cincinnati to our ever growing list!
I’m so excited. I just know the kids will love this show. I mean, it’s Dr. Seuss….How can you go wrong? It’s going to be such a fun night out and the perfect way to kick off the holidays.

“Dr. Seuss’ How The Grinch Stole Christmas! The Musical features the hit songs “You’re A Mean One Mr. Grinch” and “Welcome Christmas” (written by Albert Hague and Dr. Seuss) from the original animated special. Max the Dog narrates as the mean and scheming Grinch, whose heart is “two sizes too small,” decides to steal Christmas away from the Holiday loving Whos. Magnificent sets (John Lee Beatty) and costumes (Robert Morgan) inspired by Dr. Seuss’ original illustrations help transport audiences to the whimsical world of Whoville, while the music and book of Mel Marvin and Timothy Mason breathe new life into this timeless story of the true meaning of Christmas. The 2013 production is directed by Matt August and choreographed by Bob Richard based on the original choreography by John DeLuca and originally created by 3-time Tony Award® winning director, Jack O’Brien.”
