\"Holiranchoa\"<\/a><\/p>\n

It was a perfect evening of holiday fun as the Carlsbad’s Leo Carrillo Ranch<\/a><\/strong> was magically transformed into Holiday at the Rancho<\/strong> tonight December 6, 2008 from 5-8 PM.<\/p>\n

The evening featured crafts for the kids (Grinch masks and collars) with help from Miss Teen Carlsbad<\/strong> and her court, a bouncy bounce, soup in bread bowls and almost hot apple cider, a Christmas tree lighting by The Grinch himself, plus singing from the the Carlsbad Chamber Choir<\/strong> and music by the Carlsbad High School Chamber Orchestra<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

The Grinch (who was as real as a Grinch could be) greeted everyone by the pool with a wicked smile and a furry lap. While at the other end of the ranch families enjoyed an outdoor showing of the Jim Carrey<\/strong> film, How the Grinch Stole Christmas<\/em><\/strong>. Follow the jump for all the photos.
