My last review of the year
it was amazing
The Grinch is a lonely and bitter fellow, living all alone except his dog at the top of a cold mountain, watching the happy Whos go about their happy preparations for Christmas. He is determined to spoil the holiday for them, and he robs them of all their Christmas foods and decorations and gifts. But somehow he doesn't ruin Christmas for them, and pondering this paradox changes the Grinch and he is welcomed into the fold.
