Advent Season is Upon Us...
Narrator:
Every Who down in Whoville liked Christmas a lot, but the Grinch, who
lived just north of Whoville - did not. The Grinch hated Christmas - the
whole Christmas season. Now, please don't ask why; no one quite knows
the reason. It could be, perhaps, that his shoes were too tight. Or it
could be that his head wasn't screwed on just right. 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 or his shoes, he
stood there on Christmas Eve hating the Whos. Staring down from his
cave, with a sour grinchy frown, at the warm, lighted windows below in
their town. For he knew that every Who down in Whoville beneath was busy
now, hanging a holly-who wreath or bough.
...
Grinch:* Pooh-pooh to the Whos!
Narrator: ...he was grinchily humming.
Grinch: They're finding out now that no Christmas is coming! They're just waking up, I know just what they'll do. Their mouths will hang open a minute or two, then the Whos down in Whoville will all cry, "Boo Hoo."
Narrator:
But this... this sound wasn't sad. Why... this sound sounded glad. Every
Who down in Whoville, the tall and the small, was singing, without
*any* presents at all!...
Grinch:* Pooh-pooh to the Whos!
Narrator: ...he was grinchily humming.
Grinch: They're finding out now that no Christmas is coming! They're just waking up, I know just what they'll do. Their mouths will hang open a minute or two, then the Whos down in Whoville will all cry, "Boo Hoo."
He hadn't stopped Christmas from coming, it *came*!
Somehow or other... it came just the same...
