“Maybe Christmas, the Grinch thought, doesn't come from a store.”

“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!”

“And the Grinch, with his Grinch-feet ice cold in the snow, stood puzzling and puzzling, how could it be so? It came without ribbons. 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.”

“He grinned, a very dark and evil grin… the kind of grin that the Grinch had before he stole Christmas.”

“This boy turkied my Thanksgiving, but I won't let him Grinch my Christmas. -Dean Hughes (Midway to Heaven)”

“Don't look at me like that," said Guy."How am I looking at you?" I asked."Like I'm the Grinch who stole Christmas.”
