Where's your Christmas spirit?

Ford's Theatre wasn't the only one in on the action. Christmas in May came to other grantees.

Here's what Santa's elves doled out in an amount approaching the police department's $2.5 million cut:

· $1 million to the Lincoln Theatre on U Street.

· $100,000 to the Avalon Theatre in Chevy Chase.

· $332,000 to Horning Brothers to restore Tivoli Theater murals.

· $118,000 to the GALA Hispanic Theater.
