Holiday Picks: Dr. Seuss' How the Grinch Stole Christmas!

With snow in the forecast, temperatures dropping, and people digging out their mittens and hats, it's officially December!  Enjoy a holiday pick each day before Christmas.

Dir. Chuck Jones.  Warner Home Video, 2006.  DVD.

This is another one of my favorite holiday cartoons!  Originally broadcast on television in 1966 and based on the picture book, this is something I have to watch every December.  The Grinch is true to his name - grumpy, grouchy, and not a fan of Christmas.  He lives atop a mountain overlooking the town of Whoville, and every year has to endure their Christmas celebrations.  He decides to stop Christmas from coming and ruin the Who's Christmas by stealing their presents, decorations, candy and food for their Christmas dinner.  But, he discovers that Christmas is not all about presents and food.  It means a little bit more.  Be sure to share this classic with your family this Christmas season.  Do you have a favorite movie you "must" watch each Christmas?
