Just throwing this out there as I am looking at the next month that will undoubtedly fly by. I really want to do the Grotto this year and possibly see the Nutcracker ballet. I get that not many may want to do the ballet but I have been swearing to Brent that I wanted to see it each year we have been here and have not. But if the Vancouver fam wants to go to the grotto or the ballet, let me know so we can get a date nailed down. The grotto is open from 5-9pm daily until Dec. 30th and is free admission... sooner than later would probably be the least crowded. We have heard about 50% discount tickets for the ballet on a local news station and will lookout for that. Any other holiday activities that anyone else is doing that would like to share?
