I had the privilege of listening to my daughter read
How the Grinch Stole Christmas to her first grade class.
I call it a privilege because, for one, she's my daughter, but besides that
she uses all the voices of the characters. It's truly a joy.
I read this story to my kids when they were young and
to hear one of them read it aloud is magical.
The Grinch's story is one of change.
He's a mean one, as they say.
The Whos from Whoville are filled with joy, to the point
they continue to celebrate Christmas even without
any presents, decorations or food.
Their unselfish joy changes the Grinch's heart.
Isn't Christmas more than gifts, feasts, and decor?
Of course it is.
It's joy in the depths of the heart. Rejoicing that King Jesus was born.
If you want your children to appreciate the simple
yet powerful theme of joy, read the Grinch and
The Best Christmas Pageant Ever.
The Best Christmas Pageant is
a heartwarming chapter book you'll laugh out loud over.
