Hallmark "Gifts for the Grinch" Christmas Ornament, 2000
Add to SetSummary
Dr. Seuss's children's book, How the Grinch Stole Christmas, inspired this ornament. Its 1966 animated television special would make watching the grumpy, sly Grinch's unsuccessful attempt to ruin the Whos' Christmas a perennial holiday tradition for many. Held in your palm, the Grinch's gift boxes are closed. Hung on a tree, the presents open to reveal Cindy-Lou Who, another Who, and Max the dog.
