The Christmas Wrap Up - Home Tour

I love Dr. Suess. He's my favorite children's author. His books are awesome for kids learning to read and have some pretty good messages too. I love How the Grinch Stole Christmas - THE BOOK. The movie is good too, but the book is classic. Holding a child on your lap while you read a book to them is one of life's greatest joys.

Our Christmas Village

I would like to share a tour through our home at Christmas and a little bit of the "The Grinch." Follow the links below the some of the pictures to see more.

Living Room and Memory Tree

"And they're hanging their stockings!" he snarled with a sneer.
"Tomorrow is Christmas! It's practically here!"
Then he growled, with his Grinch fingers nervously drumming,
"I MUST find a way to keep Christmas from coming!"

The Entry Hall

Counting Down the Days

Every Who down in Who-ville, the tall and the small,
Was singing! Without any presents at all!
He HADN'T stopped Christmas from coming!
IT CAME!
Somehow or other, it came just the same!

Joyful Christmas Family Room

Our Breakfast Table

The Stable made by my Dad

And the Grinch, with his Grinch-feet ice-cold in the snow,
Stood puzzling and puzzling: "How could it be so?
It came without ribbons! It came without tags!
"It came without packages, boxes or bags!"
And he puzzled and puzzed, 'til his puzzler was sore.
Then the Grinch thought of something he hadn't before!

"Maybe Christmas," he thought, "doesn't come from a store"

"Maybe Christmas.....perhaps.....means a little bit more!"
