The GRINCH got an AWFUL WONDERFUL IDEA...**

Dear Blog: Once upon a time, It was a dark stormy night.......AND

The Grinch hated Christmas! The whole Christmas season! Now, please don't ask why. No one quite knows the reason. It could be that his head wasn't screwed on quite right. It could be, perhaps, that his shoes were too tight. But I think that the most likely reason of all May have been that his heart was two sizes too small.  

Then he got an idea! An awful idea!  THE GRINCH GOT A WONDERFUL, AWFUL IDEA! "I know just what to do!" The Grinch Laughed in his throat. And he made a quick Santy Claus hat and a coat. And he chuckled, and clucked,

"What a great Grinchy trick! 

"With this coat and this hat, I'll look just like Saint Nick!"

"All I need is a reindeer..."
The Grinch looked around. But since reindeer are scarce, there was none to be found. Did that stop the old Grinch...? No! The Grinch simply said,
"If I can't find a reindeer, I'll make one instead!" So he called his dog Max. Then he took some red thread, And he tied a big horn on top of his head. 

THEN

He loaded some bags
And some old empty sacks
On a ramshakle sleigh
And he hitched up old Max.
