"'If I can't find a reindeer, I'll make one instead!'
So he called his dog, Max. Then he took some red thread
And he tied a big horn to the top of his head."
-- How the Grinch Stole Christmas! by Dr. Seuss

An ASCII Grinch for those
of you without graphics. This was my Christmas present
from Brian Durst. Thanks Brian!

In the movie The Year Without A Santa Claus (by Rankin/Bass), there were two characters who were exceptionally grinchy. They were Heat Miser and Snow Miser. They almost stopped Christmas from coming too, but not because they were as crafty as The Grinch. The Miser Brothers pettily bickered about whether it was going to be a Green Christmas or a White Christmas.
If you have audio support, here is the 1.5 Meg ULAW file of the entire "You're a Mean One, Mr. Grinch" song, sung by the same guy who does Tony the Tiger and Kirby the Vacuum Cleaner from the Brave LIttle Toaster, Thurl Ravenscroft. If you don't have ULAW, maybe the 1.5 Meg WAV version of the Grinch song will help. Special thanks to Famous Rob Malick and Don Jackson, who did the recording. Also, I'm indebted to the lovely and talented Laura Kelly for pointing out errors in the lyrics that I had previously.

Chuck Jones (he of Bugs Bunny fame) and Dr. Suess made a wonderful movie based on the book in 1966. Boris Karloff starred as the Grinch, and Albert Hague wrote the music. Below are some images from the movie:

Sadly, Famous Rob Malick's Grinch site is (hopefully temporarily)
down. Rob had 20 or so additional Grinch images and also recorded
the Grinch song above.
Guin found a pattern which will let you
knit your own Grinch hat, as described by Cindy Dacko.

I'm often asked, "Hey, how can I apply Grinchology to my daily life?" Consider the novel lawn decorations that Bob Brooks and his wife Kathleen displayed as Christmas approached. Here is Bah, here is Humbug and here is Bah Humbug.
If you can't bear being Grinchy for Christmas, then stop
by these famous (though morbidly festive) sites:
Santa's Workshop, complete
with links to many (shudder) ...Santa and Christmas pages.
Holly and Sara's Christmas Page, and
The Fairman Kids Christmas Activities which contain
lots of pictures, helpful tips for shopping, caring for Christmas
trees recipes and even some craft ideas. It's people like Melanie
and the Fairman Kids that give Christmas a good name.
