The Grinch's Christmas Light Tragedy

The grinch hates Christmas lights. It may be his raising in a remotely located home that did not need lights, or it may be his heart is two sizes too small. We don't know. But as you can see in this picture, because he loves his wife, he put forth the effort to put up the Christmas lights. (His wife didn't take any chances...She bought the lights last year after Christmas, along with clips and extension cords.)
And then the next day, the New Mexico wind blew with fury and all the lights got blown off the house. Literally. Seriously. Off. Light clips scattered in the wintering grass. The grinch spent that day in denial, not even remarking on the odd fury of the wind or the fact that the lights scattered haphazardly on the roof would have to be re-hung. And now, a week later, the lights are still scattered and our Christmas spirit is looking as tarnished and redneck as ever. The grinches wife decides to approach this situation optimistically, surmising that since the grinch has denied her lights for years, now he has to hang them twice.
The End.
And now, a few pictures from our sponsors:

Have a great day and don't be a grinch. :)

Wow...I can just picture all the illustrations you could make for this new book! I like the concept...very realistic...and almost as if it REALLY happened to someone. Hmm...
