When I was a child each Christmas we would get to gether with my cousins for a party. And each and every year my uncle would read us Dr. Seuss's "How the Grinch Stole Christmas". It is one of my favorite stories (not the Jim Carrey version mind you). My favorite version can only be done in my uncle's voices and as I found Daddy reading it to M one night after dinner I could even hear my uncle in my head saying, "Cindy Lou Who, who was no more than two."... and then my favorite was re-hearing my uncle (in my head) saying, "Santy Claus, why? why?...." You know the rest. Aren't memories precious and special. I'm grateful for a happy childhood with precious memories like these. Hopefully we're carrying on that family tradition too.
