Home for the Holidays: Our Grinchy Christmas

My children and I made this Grinch cut out of wood and hand painted many years ago as one of our annual family Christmas crafts
Our Grinchy Christmas

Well, I can’t think of a better year to have the Grinch stealing almost all of the lights we painstakingly put up on our house!  Honestly, there used to be about 500 lights all over the house!

Hurry, hopefully you can catch him in the act before he’s stolen ALL the lights!!!

Actually, we put this up every year.  It’s a great way to do very little work for a pretty good impact. 

My children and I made this Grinch cut out of wood and hand painted many years ago as one of our annual family Christmas crafts.

This year just seems so much more apropos though, doncha think?

I’ve written a little parody of the Great Dr. Suess:

And the Grinch, with his own protective mask took a wee nip o’courage from his sanitized flask.

It came with the coughing!

It came with the fever!

It came with the lock down!

To the land of the Beaver.

They took away hockey!

They took away spin!

They took away parties!

(but delivered our gin ?? )

So he thunk and he thunk til his thinker had ceased

Maybe this Christmas, instead of Roast Beast

We’ll fire up the laptop, the cell and the iPad

And Zoom with the Mother, the Sis and the iDad.

Christmas had come!

With more love and more meaning,

Then any before

Despite all the screening.

Love conquers all

And charity heals

So Merry Christmas to you

And your virtual meals!
