Last weekend, Universal Studios kicked off Grinchmas, a holiday celebration with Dr. Seuss’ The Grinch.  Visitors to the park will enjoy nightly tree-lighting ceremonies, celebrity readings of Dr. Seuss’ How the Grinch Stole Christmas, and encounters with a Who’s Who of Whoville characters.  Here are the highlights of the celebration, all of which are included in the price of admission:
