Meet the Grinch



In the car, on our way to pick out the other "Stanleys"

Remember my family's Christmas Flat Stanley project? Well, I thought it was time to meet our "Stanley" - the Grinch from Dr. Seuss' How the Grinch Stole Christmas. It may seem odd to have the Grinch be part of a project that helps us find our Christmas spirit, but I think the Grinch and his story are a perfect example of how Christmas Spirit can be found in the unexpected.


Even before we started this project, the Grinch was already special around our house. My husband has Grinch pajama pants that he wears every Christmas morning. It's our family tradition to wear Christmas jammies on Christmas morning while we open presents, so our Grinch also reminds us of this fun tradition. Just thinking about being with the family on Christmas morning makes our hearts grow three sizes.

He's pretty cute, isn't he? You can also find a Grinch, or other Dr. Seuss characters for only $5 - they're the Kohl's Cares merchandise this year!

Just a little reminder that Christmas is coming!
