Since I was nine years old, it has been a Christmas tradition of mine to watch How the Grinch Stole Christmas. My children never seemed to care for the show and my grand kids like it even less. But I am NOT daunted by them.
What could be wrong with a story about a creature who absolutely hates everything about Christmas because of the noise surrounding an entire town on Christmas Day. The Grinch comes up with a plan of of disguising himself as Santa to steal everything representing Christmas belonging to the Whos believing it will be enough to stop the holiday from coming.
In the end, after he accomplishes his task, he notices the town still sing and celebrate Christmas. The Grinch questions, "How could it be so, it came without ribbons, it came without bows, it came without tags, it came without packages, boxes or bags. Maybe Christmas doesn't come from a store." Touched by this, his heart grew three sizes larger and he returned all of their gifts, food and decorations.
I can't wait to play How the Grinch Stole Christmas this year--my 45th consecutive year!
