The Grinch took it.

Lets go back to last December. I put the girls to bed and then my husband and I took down the Christmas tree. It was a real tree. (FREE to military families!) So when we finished with the ornaments, we took the tree outside and put it by the road. The garbage truck came early the next morning so there was no evidence of a tree.

That morning, the girls woke up and the little one asked where was the tree. She kept asking and asking so I just said "The Grinch took it". We had been watching the Grinch video the entire Holiday Season so it was the first thing that came to mind.

Well, if I had known the chaos that statement would cause, I would have told her the snow fairy took it.

She told everyone we met "THE GRINCH TOOK MY CHRISTMAS TREE." The lady at Target, the Mother's Day Out teacher, random people on the street, our waitress at LuLu's.

She was totally freaked out by the fact that her tree was gone. Maybe it was the fact that the Grinch was in her house and she didn't invite him... I don't know.

She is still telling people that The Grinch too her Christmas Tree.

SO, since my husband will be deploying to Afghanistan before Christmas, I am on the search for a large, fake Christmas tree. I am also going to make a HUGE card and put on the box.

Guess what the card will read?????

Merry Christmas
From the Grinch!
