Nwa Lyrics Im in a Bank and I Think Its Kinda Funny

The Grinch is one of the most iconic fictional characters.

Originally featured in a poem by Dr Seuss, our favorite Christmas thief is predominantly associated with Jim Carrey's outlandish performance. However, there are countless adaptations and dramatizations inspired by Dr Seuss' 'How The Grinch Stole Christmas', with more being produced each year.

The enduring popularity of 'How The Grinch Stole Christmas', is perhaps thanks to its central moral: that Christmas is not about presents, but spending time with those you love. Dr Seuss clearly illustrates this as the Whos don't let The Grinch ruin Christmas, and celebrate it despite their stolen gifts. This leads to the Grinch's revelation that "What if Christmas... doesn't come from a store. What if Christmas... perhaps... means a little bit more!".
