11-28-2009 Saturday - A Christmas Carol

Our family went to the Christmas Carol at the South Coast Reperatory Theatre. It has been a family tradition for about fifteen years since Drew was four years old. This was the 30th year anniversary running at SCR!

We like to get cookies and apple juice during the intermission and walk over to the huge Christmas tree by the Westin Hotel about fifty yards away.

This is a live Christmas tree covered in lights and beautiful poinsettias are planted around the base. We guess it's about a fifty foot tree.

Hal Landon Jr. plays Scrooge and has done so for the past 25 years at this same theater. This has become one our most beloved family traditions and we hope to continue coming as long as it is running there. Favorite quotes: "It's so red!" "I'm as giddy as a school boy!" "I'm a baby!" "Good afternoon!" "You whining ragamuffin!"
