And the Grinch, with his Grinch-feet ice cold in the snow, stood puzzling and puzzling, how could it be so? It came without tags. It came without packages, boxes or bags. And he puzzled and puzzled ‘till his puzzler was sore. Then the Grinch thought of something he hadn’t before. What if Christmas, he thought, doesn’t come from a store. What if Christmas, perhaps, means a little bit more.
~ Dr. Seuss, How the Grinch Stole Christmas

Wednesday already? Wet, cold, and dull here, so always good to see something whimsical, Kim.
Best wishes, Pete.

Same here at the moment. Rain for the 25th. Better than ice and snow, but only just! 🙂

Ooohh Gremlins? It’s been years since I’ve seen that one. Will have to check it out. 🙂 Had to watch White Christmas on there with my mom last week since it’s one of her favorites.

I love the animated How the Grinch Stole Christmas. It’s so true to the spirit of Dr. Seuss’s book. The live action adaptation was just Jim Carey in green make up acting goofy for almost two hours.
