UPDATE: I have selected winners for the giveaway and closed the comments below.
I am super excited about taking my 7-year old to San Francisco to see a live performance of The Grinch Who Stole Christmas The Musical next week. It is playing at the Golden Gate Theater in San Francisco from December 21 through December 29.

The tickets are priced dynamically based on demand (as we are apparently living in The Future) and we have a code for you to use to save $20. Input “1CINDYLOU” when you purchase tickets for all 11am and 7:30pm performances.
The show runs an hour and twenty minutes with no intermission and the presenting theater company, SHN, who provided us with complementary tickets, says that it is suitable for all ages.

AND, we have two family 4-packs to give away!
To enter to win a set of four tickets to the December 22 show at 2 PM OR 7 PM, comment below telling us one local outing you plan to do with your family over the winter holiday. On Sunday, the 18th we will use a random number generator to select two winners. (Only one comment per adult, please!)
