We have a new game at our house, it's called "Sing Your Heart Out," and it's based on the story "How the Grinch Stole Christmas." The object of the game is to sing songs with your family so that the Grinch's (sound activated) sled slides down Mt. Crumpet and brings the Whos back their presents.
There's one slight flaw with the game. A's hero is the Grinch (yes, this is the child who would really like to stuff all the Christmas trappings up our chimney), so he goes out of his way to make sure that the Grinch "wins" the game by playing it so that not all of the presents can be returned (this game's rules makes Monopoly look like Tic-Tac-Toe). When the Grinch wins, A does a little victory dance.
PS: A is still wildly excited about
Christmas receiving gifts gifts gifts. Last year, it was all about playing with new toys; this year it was all about ripping open gifts as quickly as possible. I am sure that this is normal, happy behavior for a four-year-old.
