It is time for the "Wholidays" with ‘Grinchmas’ at Universal Studios Hollywood

Last night, Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti presented Universal Studios Hollywood with the First-Ever "Grinchmas" Mayoral Proclamation in a very fun and entertaining event. The major was joined by The Grinch, Max the Dog and the Whos of Whoville to Light the Towering "Grinchmas" Tree and Celebrate the Wholiday Season at The Entertainment Capital of L.A.

The major, reading in Seussian rhyme kicked off the merry "Grinchmas" Wholiday season with a spectacular tree lighting ceremony, glistening snowfall and amazing firework display.

The major spoke in both English and Spanish and let everyone know that Universal Studios Hollywood is a great tourist attraction for LA, and that thanks to USH, Los Angeles can count on passing the 50 million visitors a year by 2020. 

The major was joined by celebrities Alexa PenaVega, Carlos PenaVega, and Yvette Nicole Brown and the mayor Of WhoVille and Whoville characters to start  the tree lightening ceremony.

This year The Grinchmas area at Universal Studios will have different stations where kids of all ages can have fun.
