The Grinch movie is a Christmas classic, and for good reason.

It teaches such a wonderful lesson about the true spirit of Christmas. 

Instead of focusing on all of the “stuff” surrounding Christmas, focus on the joy of togetherness and loving those you have. 

It also has a wonderful lesson in forgiveness. I mean, even after the grinch stole Christmas, the Who’s of Whoville where filled with joy.
