Today we put up the tree and added a few ornaments (more tomorrow), the topper, and our stuffed grinch that I always put near the top of the tree. Apparently our elf on the shelf, Kiddle, didn’t like the grinch being in the tree and tied him up with an extra strand of lights under the Christmas tree and duct taped his mouth. Poor little grinch. Or maybe we should say poor little Kiddle, I’d hate to know what the grinch is going to do to him when he gets loose.
