And the Grinch, with his grinch-feet ice-cold in the snow, Stood puzzling and puzzling:
"How could it be so?"
"How could it be so?"
"It came with out ribbons! It came without tags!" "It came without packages, boxes or bags!"
And he puzzled three hours, till his puzzler was sore. Then the Grinch thought of something he hadn't before! "Maybe Christmas," he thought, "doesn't come from a store."
"Maybe Christmas...perhaps...means a little bit more!"
And what happened then? Well...in Whoville they say,
That the Grinch's small heart Grew three sizes that day!
That the Grinch's small heart Grew three sizes that day!

I loved the Grinch Who Stole Christmas! In fact, right now there's a stuffed Grinch sitting in a chair. LOL!
A wondeful post.The season is for sharing love,happiness and good will with each other more than sharing gifts.
Thanks Jennifer for sharing.Have a nice week end.

Hi Jennifer,
Let's always strive to have a big and good heart.
A man's finest hour is when he has worked his heart out in a noble cause and sits down exhausted.
Blessings to you, Jennifer.
Let's Acquire Wisdom and Live with Passion
Such a very wise and important lesson we can learn from the Grinch and the people of Whoville! Thanks for this timely reminder.
