it was about the grinch who stole christmas....lol. All kidding aside, it was about a mean green monster, the grinch, who hated Christmas and happiness. He planned to ruin Christmas for everyone by stealing all Christmas decorations and stuff on Christmas Eve. He is almost finished when a little girl sees him and thinks he is Santa Claus. It touches his heart and eventually he feels the love that Christmas gives out and returns everyone's decorations.

Wow, you've never seen it? Read the book by Dr. Seuss or watch the original cartoon movie - the Jim Carrey movie did not do justice. The story is about a mean old monster called The Grinch, who hates Christmas. One Christmas Eve he decides that he wants to "steal" Christmas from the people of Whoville (called the "Whos.") He puts on a bad Santa costume and goes around stealing everyone's presents, decorations, and Christmas food. He goes outside on Christmas morning, eager to see their reactions. He is shocked to see that the Whos are not upset, they are all standing outside singing. So the Grinch realizes that Christmas is not about the "stuff," it's about love and everything else. He gives them all of their stuff back, and he doesn't hate Christmas anymore. It's really a cute story.

Well this creature known as the Grinch messes with the Who's (Who celebrate Christmas a lot and take part in all kinds of crazy rituals) because he had a rough time as a child dealing with christmas. It's all about the morals: The importance of love on Christmas and finding your family spirit and holiday spirit. Caring stuff
