What can I say? After watching the live-action Jim Carrey film How the Grinch Stole Christmas over the weekend and listening to the audio of the complete 1966 broadcast of said story narrated by Boris Karloff on KNON’s Reckless Rock Radio on Sunday night, I’m in a Dr. Seuss sort of mood. If you choose to stay home this New Year’s Eve, we don’t blame you. Every Who in Whoville will be out on the streets, so please be careful (#DontDrinkandDrive). For those ready to get out there and celebrate, there are options all across North Texas. Here are just a few.
