What is the meaning of Christmas?

It brings back special memories of past Christmases and makes future memories. No matter how you celebrate the holiday season, one question comes to mind: what movies should I watch?

5) The Grinch

Who’s someone with an empty heart, a brain full of spiders with garlic in their soul, and you wouldn’t touch them with a thirty-nine-and-a-half foot pole? The Grinch! The Grinch is an unpleasant “Who-hating” grouch with a wicked temper, sour attitude, depressed judgment, and a heart about two sizes too small – at least, according to the movie.  There are three versions: How The Grinch Stole Christmas 1966 (This is a short animated movie, and it’s the original Grinch movie.), How The Grinch Stole Christmas 2000 (This is a live-action film, starring comedian Jim Carrey.), and The Grinch 2018 (This is a computer-animated film, which is the latest Grinch movie yet.)
