Here is Boo lecturing Simon and Finn on proper ettiquette for Christmas re-enactments where Santa most definitely DOES NOT rescue the baby Jesus from stinky cows and heathen and foul shepherds....
At one point Pops got so crazy from a busy advent season that Boo was forced to entube him.
That gave Katie a fantastic idea and she immediately encased herself in the tent tube and we didn't see her for the rest of the week. Poor Finn was forced to lie on the carpet and starve for attention.
Pops never really did recover his sanity and even while he was playing a casual game of Thomas the Tank Engine with Simon he had the poor child utterly confused regarding reality and sane states of mind.
This forced me to keep things running smoothly. I had to put in a full week of work and then race home to make sure the house hadn't burned to the ground and feed my poor starving children. Christmas with your in-laws can be about as taxing as the IRS, let me tell you...
A picture may tell a thousand words, and I guess you could say I made up about 500 for the great photos we had of the visit with Boo and Pops. No matter what really happened and how much of my post you believe- Everyone was smiling happily at the end of the stay (and I don't mean becauseBoo and Pops were leaving...)

I'm ready for the best comment you can think of Beth... I'm hoping for something along the lines of:
"It's a wonder we had such a lovely visit and that the boys have turned out so well with a Grichnoccio like you for a Dad (Grinchnoccio being a two sizes too small hearted, fibber like you....) ;-)
You just make me smile a lot, Grichnoccio man!
