Blog Hop: Favorite Christmas Tradition
Posted By Melissa on December 1, 2009
In our family, Christmas wouldn’t be complete without the Annual Grinch Reading. It’s been going on for over 20 years when my father and his best friend from forever bring their families together to celebrate the birth of our Savior. Even with college, marriage, and moves, everyone seesm to find their way home on the night of the Grinch Reading. Before the newest generation of little ears, we would all gather around at ages well above 18 and listen like we couldn’t read it for ourselves.
One year (actually PJ’s first Grinch Reading), we had lent the book out and couldn’t find it when the we sat down for “the reading.” Since NOT reading was NOT an option, we found an online copy somewhere and printed it out for Dad to read. Really that was just a formality since we can all recite the story word-for-word after so many years of hearing it.
So sacred has the story become, many of us haven’t even seen the recent* movie.
*recent is relative, of course.
Stay tuned for pictures of Ty’s first Grinch Reading.
