How the grinch stole Christmas (the OTHER version)
December 6, 2007 – 7:15 pmOnce there was a little boy. A sweet and darling little boy.
This little boy had some very special Christmas treasures that he deeply cherished and adored. The MOST SPECIAL TREASURE OF ALL was a plastic set of carousel horses. When you pushed the button, the carousel horses went up and down and shone shiny lights and played beautiful Christmas music.
Only there was a MEAN and NASTY Grinch who lived in that house… a Grinch who didn’t like the sound of that tinny Christmas music.
The little boy would turn the music on, and the Grinch would turn it off.
On… and off. On… and off. On… and off.
Until ONE DAY the little boy turned on the music and the Grinch had HAD ENOUGH!
“I’VE HAD ENOUGH!” shouted the Grinch.
“If you don’t turn off that music, I will take this blasted thing and throw it OUT THE WINDOW! I will get my car and DRIVE OVER IT, crushing it to pieces! I will take the pieces and scatter them ACROSS THE DEEPEST DEPTHS OF THE SEA!”
The little boy could see that the Nasty Grinch, she meant it.
And so he shut off the music.
***
Feeling sorry for the little boy, aren’t you?
Well you can JUST STOP!
Because the truth of the matter is, if you had to listen to THIS all day every day, you’d turn into a Grinch too.

That’s not TOO bad, but it would get quite annoying after awhile.

I just played that clip and now my daughter is dancing at my side chanting ‘again! again! again!’ - so yeah - I’d be the grinch, too!

Oh my gosh! We had the same thing when I was around 10. My dad turned it into a carousel and would play it all the time! Wow, that brought back memories.

Noise-making toys are the bane of my existence! I probaby would have lost it between last year and this year-cause that’s how I roll! Good luck with that–really, I feel for you. My daughter has a Dora toy that talks and sings and if you don’t turn her OFF (the off switch in on her butt) she will say (in her Dora voice of course), “Do you see my friend that flies?” over and over and over! I have banished that one to her room during the day and the playroom at night after I was awakened at 3 am by Dora’s voice coming through the monitor.

Noise makers! Pass me the Excedrin please.
Foolish me, I just bought Sydney a book that plays Silent Night when you push a button. It wasn’t very loud when we found it at Costco (because, of course, what can possibly sound loud in a huge warehouse) but we got it home and holy freaking cow, that thing drives me crazy. And it’s Silent Night! How can that be annoying.
And yet it is.
I feel your pain.

I’ll make you a deal. I’ll swap your Christmas carosel for my kids’ “Disco Santa.” Uh-huh. He swings his arms and boogies his hips - it’s really rather obscene. But the song (no volume control, of course) is enough to wake the dead.
Just goes to prove - someone’s always got it worse than you. I’m just thankful that we don’t own one of those singing fish (yet).

Bah Humbug!! But I feel your pain, my 9 year old son has taken to blaring Mariah Carey’s Christmas cd everyday after school. BLARING.EVERY.DAY! I used to love that darned cd. It will be missed ’cause, “I’m sorry W., I just have NO IDEA where it went!”

Oh my Grinch, would you believe we have the SAME exact carousel; but, ours is hanging on the tree!
My parents gave it to us when Thing One was born.
See, I knew they always hated me!
Now, if you’ll excuse me, I’ve got to go and, you know, scream now.
AAAAAAAHHH!

My son has a kid’s creche that lights up and sings. He has been playing with it nonstop. Do you think God will get mad if it somehow gets lost somewhere like, say, the trash????

I think ALL Christmas music is annoying. I even get sick of the cd’s I’ve picked out myself!!

That is WAY too funny. Especially because I think we own that same carousel. I let my boys put it up in their room where I would not hear it again (because the batteries died).

Just so you know, Payton watched that clip and thinks you are high-larious. He laughed big huge laughs at your scream.

Hahaha…. love the vid. It’s the same feeling I get when I see those Hallmark Christmas singing and dancing toys; they are cute once or twice, but soon I do think they would drive me crazy as well!

It’s all about removing the batteries…While they are asleep of course, so they think it “broke”.

I’ll see your carousel and raise you two stuffed snowmen on a sled, motion activated, singing “Up on the housetops QUICK QUICK QUICK” at a volume so loud, we can hear it from anywhere in the house. All it has to be is switched on, and it will start up for no reason. I came home from getting lunch today, wondering why I heard something in the house-it was the demon snowmen!

Ack, I’ll trade you the carosel that I can TURN OFF for my neighbors, who since Thanksgiving, have been playing their version of beautiful Christmas music every night from 5 pm to 10 pm. With windows open (Florida living) we get country western versions of twangy snow to the tinny screech of bad recordings, its pure torture. With the windows closed we get the scratch of treble and the boom boom of bass. This will go on until New Years…every night…blibble…blibble…blibble. Ask to turn it down, yep…did that…Now I’m one of the godless who hates and attacks Christmans!
