I loved hearing about your travels but also loved the entire Jingle Bells story. We have a much beloved Curious George monkey that has gone on many adventures with us (including a long and expensive cab ride in Grand Cayman). I hope I remember his tale as well as this one when I'm a grandmother. I'm linking to your post from my blog - I loved this so much!
