November is here, which means the holidays are just around the corner. We have already started planning our traditional holiday cards.

With the holidays upon us, and the numerous gatherings scheduled, I’ve been looking for an easy option to take along with us. We’ve been so busy, that I haven’t even had a chance to start the annual baking, so convenience is key. The folks at Gaslamp Popcorn sent over samples of their holiday snacking options, …

Visitors to the Discovery Cube have a chance to see the entries up close. And let me tell you, there are some really unique entries this year – from all ages!
Act now to get your kids tickets to see the stage play of Dr. Seuss’ How The Grinch Stole Christmas when it premiers in Orange County December 10th – 14th at Segerstrom Center.
Families will find their hearts growing a few sizes along with the Grinch’s when they experience the magic of the beloved tale on stage, which 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 television 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 lovable Whos.
On November 22nd, Knott’s Berry Farm was transformed into Merry Farm. As a family tradition, we make it a plan to attend Merry Farm every year. It’s certainly a great way to kick off the holidays with carolers walking through ghost town, visits with Santa and exciting rides, it’s a home run in our book.
A post written by Contributor Jennifer Stinnett on behalf of Dreamworks Adventure To Santa.
Living in the Inland Empire we tend to travel to Orange County or LA to attend “special events”, so when I heard that Victoria Gardens was going to be the home for the Dreamworks Adventure to Santa I was thrilled beyond belief. I knew that this was a unique holiday experience that my family could not miss. Last weekend I had the opportunity to take my 5 year old daughter and her friends, ages 5 and 9 to see Santa. Instead of the long standing tradition of visiting Santa at local malls this FREE interactive Santa adventure takes you on a 15 minute unforgettable journey to the North Pole to find Santa, with Shrek and his friends leading the way. Say goodbye to standing in the traditional mall lines, families are required to make a reservation to see Santa and enjoy this special experience.
