The Grinch hated Christmas! The whole Christmas season!
Now, please don’t ask why. No one quite knows the reason.
It could be that his head wasn’t screwed on quite right.
It could be perhaps, that his shoes were too tight.
But I think that the most likely reason of all
May have been that his heart was two sizes too small.
But,
Whatever the reason,
His heart of his shoes,
He stood there on Christmas Eve, hating the Whos…
If you are unfamiliar with those words, then you are not likely the owner of one of the millions of copies of ‘How the Grinch Stole Christmas!’ in print around the world. Nor have you likely seen one of the many television, film, or theater productions based on this classic story. For many families, watching or reading this famous Dr. Seuss story has become a Christmas season tradition.
BUT, BEWARE!
Because, the Grinches appear to be multiplying. However, they are mainly people who have the misguided notation that ‘separation of church and state’ should mean separation of common sense or separation from our national heritage. Christmas is a legally recognized federal holiday.
Therefore, you can stop apologizing for it. And, you do not need to allow yourself to be forced into any politically correct version of wishing someone a Merry Christmas.
So, remember it isn’t Santa Day, or North Pole Day, or Winter Break Day, or Holiday Tree Day or even Xmas Day – it is Christmas day.
May joy and peace be yours in abundance as you remember to celebrate this blessed day.
And, 'Merry Christmas to all, even to the Grinches!'
