grinchsanta2.jpgHappy 50th anniversary to everyone’s favorite green personification of the absence of Christmas spirit, The Grinch. And Grinchy’s got a new 50th-anniversary retrospective edition that contains the tale of the Grinch and all the Whos down in Who-ville, with an extra section about how Dr. Seuss brought this Christmas story to life and his many years of contemplation as to the true meaning of Christmas. As the Christian Science Monitor notes, “By 1957, he was ready to write his story about how the joy of Christmas couldn’t be stolen even if all the presents and holiday treats were.”
