When I was a boy, The Grinch Who Stole Christmas was my second favorite television Christmas special. The conversion of the Grinch to the true meaning of Christmas at the end was a wonderful message, and still is. Boris Karloff was a good choice as narrator. Beginning in 1940, with zero publicity, he would dress up as Father Christmas and hand out presents to disabled kids at a Baltimore Hospital on Christmas Day.

I DVR’ed the Grinch. I watch it with my little guys and still enjoy it.
Alas, if it had only been your FIRST favorite movie, you might have gotten the title right… 🙂

No doubt, and if I were not a half century removed from my initial viewing of How the Grinch Stole Christmas! 🙂
