When I was a kid, my biggest fear was the Grinch.

Hairy green, long, bony fingers, crumbling jagged yellow nails, snatching up every last crumb of Christmas-meaning, the Grinch was my BIGGEST fear and greatest excitement as a child. Every Christmas, when I was a kid, one family tradition was to watch How the Grinch Stole Christmas (2000), directed by Ron Howard. 

My mom would make a fresh batch of hot chocolate on the stove with little marshmallows, and bake snowman Pillsbury cookies. I was a true fan of holiday cookies but at Christmas, I always hid some extras under my pillow and behind my books on my bookshelf in case the Grinch left Whoville and came to my home.

The sinister, stealthy mind of the Grinch evaded my two older sisters. So, it was just me and Cindy Loo Who who worried about our cookies being devoured and presents being stolen. The Grinch’s evil demeanor, yellow eyes, and green hairy body crept into my nightmares. I could even smell his foul breath!  

My parents insisted that we stop watching the movie because of my night terrors, but somehow Christmas wasn’t complete without it.  I was full of popcorn, cookies, and anticipation. The most mesmerizing scene was when the Grinch broke into the village home refrigerators and stole the food for the holiday feast, in a big fat sack. I secretly, wouldn’t have minded if he took our Brussel sprouts though.

One cold December night I sat up, startled in my bed. My bedroom door handle was twisting.  My little heartbeat me into a cold sweat. All I could do was pull my covers over my head. I couldn’t see much but I heard shuffling getting louder. I closed my eyes and imagined my happy place at the playground, eating cookies. The noise stopped.

“I’m the grinch,” it growled, “I am here to take you, Sophia.”

The Grinch was going to take me to his lair and lock me up, where no one could hear me but the walls that would echo my screams. I sprinted across my bed over the end of my white cast iron bed frame. All I could see was a big green blob. My flight response delivered me across the hallway into my parents’ bed.

My mom collected, all six years of me in her arms and went to investigate. I knew the Grinch couldn’t fool my mom. We didn’t see the Grinch that night. In his place, we found our large innocent family Schnoodle George. He was wrapped, suspiciously, in a fuzzy green blanket. I never knew if it was the Grinch or my older sister’s who concocted such a devious plan - but either way - I knew his heart grew, and he never came back.
