Week #52 – How the Grinch Stole Christmas by Dr. Seuss

Welcome to 2023!  On Mondays this year, let’s discuss and have fun with books. No I’m not writing book reviews. But this website is for writers, and writers like books right? So let’s have FUN with books!

Week #52 – How the Grinch Stole Christmas by Dr. Seuss, 1957

On Christmas Eve, the Grinch, a cranky, solitary creature, works to “stop Christmas from coming” by stealing Christmas gifts, food,  and decorations from the homes of the nearby town of Whoville. The story criticizes the commercialization of Christmas.
