The Holiday season celebration took off last Wednesday at Universal Studios, Hollywood with The Grinch, Max the Dog and a ‘Bunch’ of ‘Whos’ for the “Grinchmas” holiday “who-bilation”. The ‘Whos’ of Who-ville joined the Grinch to honor veteran stage and screen actor, Florence Henderson, with the “Who-Manitarian of the Year” award. “Once you become involved with the City of Hope, which I have been for many, many years, you sort of never let go and they never let go of you… I am so thrilled to receive this award, which allows me to donate it to the City of Hope,” said Henderson.

Florence Henderson, otherwise known as Carol Brady from “The Brady Bunch”, received this award in front of a “who-bilized” audience, that included L.A. Family Housing and Universal Studios Hollywood’s Discover a Star Foundation. “There’s a wonderful sign when you drive into City of Hope and it says ‘What profit is there in saving the body in the process if you lose the soul’, and I think it’s such a wonderful thing to keep in mind,” added Henderson; All of this of course with a little help from the Grinch who said, “Me too!”

“Grinchmas” at Universal Studios Hollywood, features a spiraling 60 foot “Grinchmas” tree, photo opportunities, live performances at Who-ville film sets and other great treats. This spectacular celebration began Thanksgiving Day, November 28, 2013 and continues on weekends through December 15, then daily from December 20 through December 31. “Grinchmas” is included in the price of theme park admission.
