Hot Pursuit - Dodge County

It may have been the Grinch who stole Christmas from the people of Whoville, but that same Grinch hasn’t found a way to steal anything from our family. In fact, the Grinch has actually inspired something that would make his heart pretty queasy.
Tradition is a big part of the holiday season for many families, and our family is no different. We have taken the Grinch story to put a light-hearted spoof on Christmas that leaves us all in a festive mood. 
Like the people of Whoville, our family rallies in support during the holidays brightly showcasing togetherness with warm-heartedness aglow. No Grinch is ever going to stop us from being together. Well, maybe, the weather has once in a while in the past.
I know our family gathering in this heartless creature’s name would be enough to make him sick to his stomach. 
For those who may not be familiar, How the Grinch Stole Christmas has been a holiday classic since 1957 in book format and 1966 in broadcast version. The Grinch is a bitter cave-dwelling creature with a heart “two sizes too small” and lives high up on a mountain. He despises the merry and warm-hearted Whos and makes every attempt to prevent Christmas from coming.
However, he learns in the end that despite his success in taking all the Christmas presents and decorations from the Whos, Christmas comes just the same. He finds Christmas is more than just gifts and presents. Touched by this, the Grinch’s heart grows three times larger and returns all the gifts.
One of the holiday traditions that we started several years ago, among many others we have, is a Grinch party just prior to Christmas. True to form just like the Grinch story, our gathering usually entails a big roast beast meal. In addition, we share goofy white elepahtn gifts (some of them could qualify for the world’s ugliest flea market) with each other and watch the Grinch show.
