It's time for Christmas Grinchmas in July!
Grinchy Greetings, my foolishly festive friends! Long ago our Who founding fathers huddled in a tiny gingerbread house together and forged a document like no other. They wrote of the slimiest and grimiest celebration that the North Pole would ever witness!
When the Mayor of Whoville walked out of that gingerbread house one of the obnoxious Whos asked "What kind of celebration do we have?" to which he grimly replied "A Grinchmas…if we can keep it"
You see folks, that’s the true meaning of this 4th of July season and to celebrate, I the Grinch, beseech you all to buy your tickets for Grinchmas (err… I mean Winterfest) right now or you may find some firecrackers in your stockings this year! Get Tickets
