Let’s read a fun story called “Grumpy Cat’s First Worst Christmas” by Christy Webster. The pictures are drawn by Steph Labris. Are you ready? Let’s go!
Christmas is coming soon, Grumpy Cat! It’s a time to be happy and have fun.
But Grumpy Cat says, “This is the season to leave me alone.”
Look, Grumpy Cat, it’s snowing! Snow is so much fun!
Grumpy Cat says, “Let it snow, let it snow.”
We can build a snow cat in the winter. Grumpy Cat wants his snow cat to have a frown!
Grumpy Cat, let’s go sledding down the snowy hill!
Grumpy Cat says, “I’d rather live in my wonderland of no.”
How about we decorate the Christmas tree, Grumpy Cat?
Grumpy Cat thinks the tree might have bugs and says, “This is the most terrible time of the year.”
It’s time to wrap the presents, Grumpy Cat!
Grumpy Cat hears, “It’s time to rip the presents.”
Christmas carolers are here, Grumpy Cat! They sing songs like “Jingle Bells” and “Silent Night.”
We can make cookies for Santa, Grumpy Cat, and leave a special note.
Grumpy Cat writes, “Dear Santa, all I want for Christmas is for it to be over.”
Let’s make the fireplace warm and cozy, Grumpy Cat. It’s cold outside!
Grumpy Cat says, “No. I sat by a fireplace once; it was awful.”
Isn’t there anything you like about Christmas, Grumpy Cat?
Grumpy Cat says, “Well, there are more things around here to break.”
Uh-oh, Grumpy Cat, you might be on Santa’s naughty list.
Grumpy Cat says, “Good.”
The end.
Even though Grumpy Cat doesn’t like Christmas, we can still have fun! We can play in the snow, sing songs, and make yummy cookies. What do you like to do during Christmas?
Snowy Observations: Next time it snows, go outside with an adult and observe the snowflakes. Can you catch a snowflake on your glove and look at its shape? Draw a picture of the snowflake you see. How many different shapes can you find? Talk about why snow is fun and what activities you can do in the snow, just like Grumpy Cat’s snowy adventure!
Decorate Your Own Tree: Create a mini Christmas tree using craft materials like paper, stickers, and glitter. Think about how you would decorate it to make it special. What colors would you use? Would you add a star or an angel on top? Share your tree with your family and explain why you chose those decorations. How does it feel to make something beautiful?
Grumpy Cat’s Christmas Cookies: With the help of an adult, bake some simple cookies. As you bake, think about what kind of cookies Grumpy Cat might like. Would they be sweet or maybe a little sour? Decorate the cookies with icing and sprinkles. Share them with your family and talk about how baking can be a fun way to celebrate the holidays, even if Grumpy Cat doesn’t think so!

Let’s read “Grumpy Cat’s First Worst Christmas” by Christy Webster, illustrated by Steph Labris.
It’s almost time for Christmas, Grumpy Cat! Just the season to be jolly.
This is the season to leave me alone.
Look, Grumpy Cat, it’s snowing!
Let it snow, let it snow.
But Grumpy, in the winter we can build a snow cat.
If I have to, mine will have a frown.
Grumpy Cat, Grumpy Cat, let’s go! Let’s sled down the snow!
I’d rather live in my wonderland of no.
Grumpy Cat, how about we decorate the Christmas tree?
I think that thing has termites. This is the most terrible time of the year.
It’s time to wrap the presents, Grumpy Cat.
You say it’s time to rip the presents.
Christmas carolers are here, Grumpy Cat!
Jingle bells, jingle bells, fa la la la la, about Silent Night.
We can make cookies for Santa, Grumpy Cat, and leave a special note.
Dear Santa, all I want for Christmas is for it to be over.
Let’s make the fireplace roar, Grumpy Cat. It’s cold outside.
The answer is no. I sat by a fireplace once; it was awful.
Isn’t there anything you like about Christmas, Grumpy Cat?
Well, there are more things around here to break.
Uh-oh, Grumpy Cat, you might be on Santa’s naughty list.
Good.
The end.
