So I was looking at my daughter and thinking how much she resembles a Who from How the Grinch Stole Christmas when I realized there is a discrepancy is this beloved Christmas story. And it is this: Why didn't San-dee Claaa-zz ever show up? You would figure that in a children's story that Santa is real and would make an appearance, maybe even invite the Grinch out on next years run with him, but he never comes. I mean, little Cindy-Lou has to deal with the fact that Santa didn't come to stick up for himself and save the day. I am sure this will cause her to doubt his existence at all, thereby ruining her childhood. What do you think? Am I the only one who has ever thought of this? Probably not, but I just may be the only one who has spent this much time thinking about it.

Discrepancy with the Whos

Santa Clause is sinful.
Jesus is the reason for the season.
And yes, I am holier than thou.
And yes, your kid looks like a Seuss character... in a good way.
:)
I really don't see any Seuss-ness. Maybe the way you styled her hair is Seussesque, but her face is just cute. No Seuss.
As for your ponderments, I didn't enjoy the Jim Carrey version, so I'm a little lost with the whole Santa Claus bit. For me, I knew by Kindergarten that Mr. Claus wasnt real and I turned out just fine. I think I even told you he wasn't real and you argued with me and we got in an "almost fight". (you and I both know we've only fought once over Nintendo). I think my mom or your mom stopped our "almost fight" to let you believe in Santa Claus and make me feel like a fool. I'm really glad I won eventually though. :-)
I don't know about Santa, but Charis would definitely make a cute little Cindy-Lou-Who. ;)
Glad to her that she's doing so well. I hope you three are having a good summer thus far!
She does look like a Who! Aww! Only in that picture though.
I think the Jim Carey version was awful. I'm a fan of the classic version. As for Santa... well, I think he didn't show up because he was already half way around the world delivering presents to other families. Maybe Santa knew he'd eventually learn that Christmas wasn't about presents.
