A tradition for Christmas we've had for the past 10 years is attending the Old Globe Theater's production of How the Grinch Stole Christmas. I started attending with friends that had young children around 1998, and we've been doing it ever since.

Last year, I was finally able to take my granddaughter Cassidy when she turned 3 years old. It's silly and fun and something that always puts me in the right mood for Christmas. I also enjoy sharing my love of live theater with my friends and family. We've had as many as 20 people attend. I think traditions are important in families, even small events. So this is one thing my grandchildren will be expected to attend and celebrate with their grandmother!
