I remember sitting down with father every Vinayaka Chaturthi evening as he read the story of Lord Vinayaka. According to the mythology, one is not supposed to see the moon until after reading the story. Dad would make the story fascinating for me. Nowadays, whenever I read the current versions of the story, I feel rather depressed- the story is changed, shortened, and has almost no relationship to the original.
This was one of the very happy moments of our childhood.
