Spirit of Christmas: Day 21

Who Beast Feast

My dear sister Maggie has a love for someone special at Christmas time.  Now, I know you might be thinking that he's a heavy set guy with a white beard, suspenders, and a large sack full of toys.  If that's what you were thinking, you probably did not read the title of this post.  Maggie absolutely LOVES the Grinch.   Every year she sits down with her family to read the story of the Grinch before they have their Who Beast Feast on Christmas Eve for dinner.  

Aaron gets in on the celebration by cooking and carving the roast beast.  Anything that can have green food coloring added, does, especially the mashed potatoes, also known as who hash.  For desert they enjoy worms and dirt or more commonly known as Who pudding.  I am pretty sure that during their dinner their hearts and tummies grow three times in size.  Just kidding.  The fun part at the end of their holiday Whoobilation is that they snuggle up together on the couch and watch the cartoon version of How the Grinch Stole Christmas.  No creepy Jim Carey as the Grinch at their house.

Here's a cool picture from last year when the Gaylord Texan had their ice exhibit completely devoted to How the Grinch Stole Christmas.  Maggie, Aaron, and Hunter all enjoyed it so much that they are going to go back this year for the Charlie Brown Christmas display.


Maggie, if you read this, I found something you might need. 



Tomorrow we'll look at Christmas trees with a special emphasis on my sister Sarah.
