A long time ago in a land Far, Far Away.

In a small town called Whoville were little who's play.
0:13
Our story Begins full of holiday cheer, the hoos are excited for
0:19
Christmas is near little who children are gathered at school
0:24
and haven't yet learned that Golden Rule to treat other
0:28
people with kindness. It's True especially those who
0:31
are different than you. Okay class as you know the
0:39
holidays are almost here. Whoo-hoo.
0:42
What is on your Christmas list stamps for my stamp collection?

What do you want for Christmas? I want a copy of the book of.
0:56
Who what are you going to do with the book of who Rudy?
0:59
It doesn't have any pictures. I'm gonna read it.
1:04
Abu because I'm going to be mayor someday and you're not.
1:08
That's a good goal. Rudy, what about you?
1:11
Martin E, I want to make up kit so I can look like a whole
1:16
movie. Star Grant, who's your favorite?
1:20
Who V Star? Huh?
1:22
Who's your favorite, who V-Star? I don't know what that is.
1:26
You don't go to the who've. He's what planet are you from?
1:31
That's enough class. Grunch?
1:34
How about you? Huh?
1:36
Crunch. What do you want for Christmas?
1:40
I don't want anything. You don't want anything because,
1:43
you know you're not going to get anything Rudy.
1:47
That's not very nice. Well, it's true.
1:50
He doesn't have any parents that loved him and so he never gets
1:54
anything for Christmas or his birthday.
1:56
Isn't that right garage Rudy. That's enough besides that.
2:01
He's green. He's not Not really a who I hate
2:05
you. I hate all of you and I hate
2:10
Christmas. Wait, don't go brunch.
2:15
Come back. Let him go.
2:17
You heard him? He hates Christmas.
2:20
We're better off without him. Rhodey that isn't nice at all.
2:25
He went postal. And so the grunts left Nevermore
2:31
to return for the hurt, turn to hate, and it started to burn all
2:37
the way to mount crumpit. He lives there alone and each
2:41
year at Christmas. His hate is well known.
2:50
I'm not afraid of the garage. That's only because you've never
2:55
seen him. Nobody's seen him.
2:57
Not in a long time. I can't imagine living up here
3:01
all alone my whole entire life. There it is.
3:06
It's the door to his cave. They say he's green, I'm scared.
3:11
Can we go home now not yet? Get Dad's who phone out and film
3:15
me. It's Only hey, crotch.
3:19
I would you like a job as a Christmas tree?
3:24
Your turn. Your turn your turn.
3:26
Hmm, we heard you live up here cuz you're so ugly ug L why I
3:34
don't need an alibi. I'm ugly I really need some
3:38
self-help. Your the thought of then the the
3:44
the grand Good boy, Max. Who let the who's out?
3:58
What what, what what? I'm a mean green.
4:03
Scaring machine. Boy.
4:06
That was fun. I didn't get your names.
4:11
Why do they always run off without introducing themselves?
4:15
Children are so rude these days. But what, so they're not afraid
4:19
of the garage concerned about me being up here all alone.
4:23
Maybe I should pay them a little visit Max fetch my cloak.
4:36
Christmas is whose favorite time of year.
4:39
They celebrate, Jesus for his birthday is near.
4:43
Jesus was God's gift to every who too young and too old to me
4:48
and to you. And so, to remember that first
4:51
Christmas Day, the whose exchange gifts and put on know
4:55
who play Lou Drew stew, hurry up or we'll be late for The Who
5:04
Shouldn't gift exchange and the casting of The Who Christmas
5:07

5:10
marry this year? Cindy?
5:12
Lou, you're almost 10 years old. Haven't you learned that the
5:16
mayor cast the same people every year to be in the, who Christmas
5:19
play? I don't stand a chance, I'm
5:22
ready. But I can't find the who phone
5:25
where stew and Drew all they left early this morning.
5:28
They said they had something really important to do.
5:31
What was it? I don't know.
5:33
They probably went to hell. Up with some community service
5:35
project or something. You know teenagers, huh?
5:39
Well they know where to find us. Let's go Lou, I would love to be
5:44
merry. Do you think I have a chance
5:45
this year? I think you'd make a fine.
5:48
Marry Betty. Boo hoo, the mirror, always
5:51
picks, that Martha. May movie A.
5:54
Do you think you could speak up this year, you know, on my
5:57
behalf, huh? Me.
6:00
Yeah, sure. Dear, you know, You to make an
6:05
awfully good Joseph? You really think so?
6:10
Yeah, but I'm not the mayor. The mayor is always Joseph.
6:16
That's what I'm talking about. Lou, you should stand up to him
6:19
and say something nobody stands up to the mayor.
6:23
Nobody gifts are exchanged by who's tall and short by Young
6:29
And by old who's of every sort to be cast into who play.
6:34
What? All who's hold dear as they
6:37
gather together at this time of year, two days until Christmas.
6:42
The are full of Glee but things were about to change, you'll see
6:59
Ladies and Gentlemen, Just place your gifts under the big tree
7:03
and help yourselves to some who cocoa and cookies will start the
7:07
gift exchange in a few minutes. All right, Max, you hold the
7:10
bag. While I fill it with their
7:12
gifts, it'll all end up in the trash anyways.
7:16
Well, we'll eventually they do. I'm saving them the trouble of
7:19
going through all that disappointment later, it's
7:22
easier to get over it when you don't know what you got.
7:29
Daddy. How are you, Martha?
7:34
I'm fine. How's my little Cindy?
7:37
Lou, and thank miss her VA. I hope you've been taking care
7:41
of that little baby doll of yours.
7:44
I can't wait to hold that little baby Jesus doll.
7:48
Maybe my mom will get to be married this year.
7:51
Hmm, kids. There's such dreamers, aren't
7:55
they? Let me have your attention.
7:57
Please your attention. The mayor would like to speak.
8:01
Thank you, buddy. If you're ready it's time for
8:05
the whobilation gift exchange. Where did all the gifts?
8:10
Go we are the gifts. Oh some who with the dog was
8:16
stacking them in a bag over there they're gone.
8:21
Where's the who that stack them? I don't see him anywhere.
8:25
This is not very Christmas like at all.
8:27
Who would have taken our gifts The Cross by the grand.
8:33
What's the crunch? You boy?
8:35
Saw the garage where we were up on Mount.
8:39
Crumpit out Crumpet. Whoo.
8:42
What are your boys doing plane on Mount crumpit?
8:45
It's almost Christmas. There's one thing.
8:47
We don't need its problems with the only person who hates
8:50
Christmas. The grunch.
8:52
I'm sorry, mr. Mayor, it won't happen again.
8:56
I can assure. Sure you well I certainly hope
8:59
not Daddy. Who's the grunch all right
9:02
people, there is no Grand Church problem.
9:05
What about our gifts? Yeah.
9:08
Did we miss the whobilation gift exchange?
9:10
Apparently, there has been some confusion as to the location of
9:14
the gifts so we'll have to postpone the whobilation gift,
9:18
exchange until later, we'll take a short break and then give out
9:22
the parts for the who Christmas play.
9:25
Find those presents. Do you suppose Who's the garage
9:28
could have taken them? No, he would never come into
9:31
town. He hates.
9:32
Who's who? Exactly?
9:35
Dad what is it? Cindy, who's the crunch?
9:38
The garage, isn't a who he's a. What who doesn't like Christmas?
9:45
Why not? He never got any gifts.
9:48
Never never. And so, Cindy, Lou from
9:53
beginning to now, heard the story of the grunch, the story
9:57
of how the grants went to school with who girls and who boys, and
10:02
because he was orphaned, never had any toys at Christmas, when
10:07
who's made their wish Miss list, the only thing grants made was a
10:11
little green fist. Well, we are, we still can't
10:28
find the missing presence, but when we do, I'll be the first to
10:31
open mine. I mean, you'll be the first to
10:34
know in the meantime, will cast the parts for the who Christmas
10:37
play. I suppose you're gonna be Joseph
10:40
again. Well if you insist, thank you
10:43
Lou for nominating me. What did you do that for?
10:46
I wanted you to be Joseph. I was being sarcastic whoo-wee.
10:51
And now for the part of Mary. No.
10:55
Wow. What was that?
10:56
Lou? My wife Betty Boo, who would
11:00
make a fine Mary. Oh Lou, I'm so sorry.
11:05
I've already chosen Martha may who VA to play the part of Mary.
11:08
She did such a fine job last year and the year before that.
11:12
And the year before that. Okay, dear, that's enough.
11:17
Lou, your wife seems to be upset about something.
11:20
Oh no, she's not upset. Well, I am.
11:23
She was just saying how good of a job Martha does every year I'm
11:31
a star, everyone loves me and I love them for loving me and they
11:36
love me for loving them. So, we all love each other.
11:39
Congratulations, I knew they'd pick you.
11:42
Why didn't you stand up for me? Particularly Tried is just that.
11:46
Well, he's the mayor. Well, I'm your wife, Lou.
11:51
I have you down as one of the shepherd's along with Buddy.
11:54
Well, at least I got a part. Hey, and Cindy, you will supply
11:59
the baby Jesus. Again, this year, the angel will
12:02
be played by. Dwayne has anyone seen Dwayne?
12:05
Who son? You mean the rock?
12:08
Oh, the muscles. Didn't he move to Hula for Nia?
12:12
He's in all those movies with that little guy.
12:14
Kevin hoot. Oh well, scratches name from the
12:17
list. Any volunteers to play the part
12:19
of the Angel? I'll do it.
12:21
Pick me. I'll do it big me.
12:22
Please over here. Has the crush to be Angel.
12:28
My loo, your children appear to be little hooligans today.
12:32
Cindy, the grand cannot be a part of our Christmas play, why
12:36
not? Well, because the garage is an
12:40
awfully me, green scary. Xin.
12:46
He hates everyone. That's why he lives up on the
12:49
top of Mount. Crumpit all alone.
12:52
It sounds like he just needs to get saved saved.
12:55
Yeah, you know, just ask Jesus into his heart.
12:58
I know what being saved to mean? Cindy, Lou, it's just that.
13:02
Well, the grunch cannot be saved.
13:04
Why not didn't God sent Jesus to bring peace and goodwill to
13:08
everyone? Isn't that why Jesus died on the
13:10
cross? She's right.
13:12
According to the who leave Bible whose soever will call upon the
13:19
name of the Lord will be saved. It does not say garage so ever
13:25
and let us not forget John 3:16 for God.
13:29
So loved the world that he gave his only son, that whosoever
13:33
believes on him. Will not perish, but have
13:36
eternal life. Can I get an amen?
13:40
Amen, but the Holy Bible also says that God is no respecter.
13:44
Picture of persons. And that Jesus came to give his
13:47
life as a ransom for all. And it specifically, says,
13:51
inhalations 328. There is, neither slave nor
13:55
free. There is neither male nor
13:57
female. There is neither who norg Ranch
14:00
for. We Are All One in Christ.
14:02
Jesus, who more crunch? Does it really say that?
14:09
Well, I suppose. Jesus did die for everyone.
14:14
But who's going to tell the garage?
14:17
They don't have to tell him. He'll hear the story of
14:20
Christmas while playing the part of the Angel.
14:23
That's true. Well, I suppose we could make
14:27
the offer, we'll send an official who invitation the
14:32
grand can't even read. He dropped out of school.
14:34
Have I told you that story? Remind me later.
14:37
All right. Then erhu Christmas play.
14:39
Rehearsal, will take place tomorrow at this.
14:42
Same time. Everyone come in costume.
14:44
Same time, tomorrow everyone in costume.
14:48
I just said that. The grand cheated Christmas as
14:54
you all we'll know. I hate the presence and the
14:57
trees, all aglow. I hate the singing and the
15:01
sharing of love, I hate the thought of a god up above, no
15:05
offense, but every who down in Who-ville?
15:08
Love Jesus a lot, but the Grinch Who Lived high above Who-ville,
15:13

15:20
No, I haven't. You got male on male.
15:23

16:04

fear, but of power and love and a sound mind.
16:11
Oh, really! Danger.
16:15

16:19

17:24
nightmares shower before bed? Wait, I don't take showers.
17:28
It's doable. So you'll come.
17:31
I'll pray about it. I didn't think you prayed.

18:05
Huh? Well, of course.
18:06
I'm gonna do it. Hope I didn't seem too anxious
18:08
and front a little Cindy Lou, but I hate Christmas.
18:13
Oh, well, I hate candy too, but I always eat it.
18:17
You think that's why I have so many cavities, huh?
18:19
A cavity. It's like having a belly button
18:21
in your teeth only, without the Lent.
18:29
Here's my dumb, is who VA? Thank you Cindy.
18:32
And how's my little baby Jesus, mom.

18:47
Axon. What's happening, people?
18:52
I'll tell you what's happening. Nothing?
18:54
Why? Because our Angel hasn't shown
18:56
up for practice. What's who policy for unexcused?
18:59
Absences during a practice the missing actors get cut.
19:03
That's right. They get cut then.

Thank you, buddy. Please just give him another
19:27

19:33
in the who play? What, Cindy, what are you
19:37

19:41
I just wanted to make sure he would come.
19:43
You talk to the grunch. Yes, he's really nice.
19:46
Once you get to know him, she's lying, the crunches.
19:49
A mean green scaring machine. You called, hey, how you doing?
19:55
Thanks for coming to my audition.
19:56
Who does your hair? It's fabulous.
20:00
Oh, this is gonna be the best play Dave ever had on.
20:03
She made it. That's right, Cindy new, it's
20:05
showtime. Hooray for Hollywood at that,
20:09
dot dot, dot, dot dot, Martha. May, let's make a movie
20:15
together. Beauty, and the grunch.
20:19
Oh my. Oh, that must be.
20:21
A baby santa, it's baby Jesus. Well it's really just my doll.
20:27
We're pretending, it's Jesus, the gift.
20:29
God gave the world. So everyone could have peace,
20:32
whatever. Mr. Grunch.
20:33
It's so good of you to come. I'm mayor Giuliani Mayo, who
20:38
lie. Wati Wu Leone, I got your
20:40
invitation, it could have used some pictures.
20:43
Well, here are your lines. You can stand over there.
20:48
What? No pictures again, I'm a product
20:51
of the TV generation. Cindy bring me my lines.
20:55
I bring you good news of great joy for everyone tonight and
20:59
Bethlehem the savior is born places.
21:02
Everyone and action, wake up. This is no time to take a nap
21:12
we've gotta play to do. What are you a bunch of lazy
21:15
animals or something? Cut your Shepherd sleeping on a
21:18
hillside. The night, the Angels
21:20
proclaimed, the birth of Of Jesus.
21:22
They're acting like they're asleep.
21:24
They'll wake up. When you tell them about the
21:25
birth of the Savior, you need a timeout places, everyone and
21:31
action. I bring you good news, good news
21:38
of great joy for everyone. Great joy tonight and Bethlehem
21:42
the savior is born, savior born for more details, tune into, WHO
21:47
news at ten cut. I'm one step ahead of you mayor.
21:51
You Shepherds need to react more.
21:53
Let me give you some motivation. You're all alone on a hillside
21:56
in the middle of the night, suddenly a big green hairy
22:00
Angel, appears scares the heebie-jeebies out of you
22:04
announces the birth of some baby name savior or something.
22:08
And what does it mean to you? It's somebody's birthday
22:11
birthday party. Now that's something to get
22:14
excited about. Thanks that really helps.
22:17
Yeah, thanks, that's good, mr. Grunch, what the Real reason I
22:22
stopped you was that I realized you weren't in your angel
22:25
costume. Angel costume.
22:28
No one said anything about an angel costume, I have it right
22:33
here. I refuse to wear a white dress.
22:37
What's the matter with you don't, you know, you're not
22:38
supposed to wear white after Labor Day.
22:40
Wait, makes me look sick. But then again every color to
22:43
makes me look sick because I'm green, but that's beside the
22:46
point. Take me as I am or leave me and
22:50
I'm afraid we're going to have Leave, you just like that.
22:53
Don't you want to take a few minutes to discuss it?
22:56
No, that won't be necessary. Couldn't we make an exception?
22:59
Just this once pretty please. Did I say that?
23:03
I'm sure something can be done. Can't it, mr.
23:05
Mayor. We're not even.
23:07
Sure of the costume will fit him.
23:08
Properly Betty could help me make sure it fits properly
23:11
before the play tomorrow. Well, I suppose, just this once,
23:16
I gotta be the angel, I gotta be the angel after all, the reason
23:20
for this little Escapade is to get the grunch saved, isn't it?
23:25
Shaved. So that's what this is about.
23:29
That's what it's always about, isn't it?
23:33
You want me to become, like you, you'll treat your family members
23:38
like dogs and your dogs like man's best friend.
23:45
You have no time for your kids but plenty of time for your TV,
23:51
you I took one way in public and then entirely different in
23:55
private. But if that's what it means to
23:57
be saved, then I'm not interested.
24:01
You can keep your Jesus all to yourselves.
24:03
And I'll go back to my Mountain by myself, cut Marcus late.
24:07
That's a keeper. Everyone is dismissed Max.
24:10
We're leaving. Thanks a lot Cindy Lou.
24:18
And that Cindy Lou is why the grunch cannot get saved.
24:22
Now that he has wasted our entire morning, we'll break for
24:25
lunch, everyone be back at 1:00 and don't be late back at 1:00,
24:31
don't be late. That's what I said.
24:35
Where we going to find an angel on such short notice, I have an
24:39
idea where we can find an angel. Come on, Cindy.
24:42
Let's go home. How could the grunts ruin?
24:52
The who Christmas play is what the grunge pondered this
24:56
Christmas Eve day? Max, those blasted who's nearly
25:00
had me hula, dazzled, who do they think they are?
25:03
Anyway, the nerve of them using, I hope and pray to get me saved
25:09
of all the lowdown, dirty tricks, but I don't need them
25:13
and I don't need their big play. Look losers.
25:19
Oh, put a sock in it. Maxie, I hate you.
25:22
Who who's bunch of men come? Who's a daily?
25:27
Think I need, Jesus in my life and just really given it every
25:32
thought a smile would appear and uncover his plot.
25:37
I know, just how to get a little Jesus, I'll still in from Cindy
25:43
Lou. And then tomorrow, when they try
25:45
to perform the who Christmas play, there will be Dino Christ,
25:50
child, and I'll have a front-row seat.
25:53
Where's my cloak? Max.
25:56
Why are you crossing your paws like that?
25:58
I'm not gonna hit. Brilliant Max at X will replace
26:03
Christ with an abstract variable.
26:05
That is totally meaningless, quick.
26:08
Give me a piece of wooden us. All we've got work to do and
26:11
when I say we I mean you here's a plan cut, the wood into two
26:14
strips, put a screw through the center and painted black.
26:17
Hurry. Max Waiting for Christmas.
26:20
Hmm, I'm a mean one. The Who's down in Whoville.
26:32
All brushed the hair put on their jammies and went to bed
26:36
unaware that the grants will be plotting a who awful plot on the
26:41
Night Before Christmas. They considered it not.
26:47
All right, Cindy off to bed. Tomorrow is Christmas.
26:51
Don't forget your prayers. So Betty are you gonna do it?
26:55
Do what play the part of the Angel?
26:58
We really need you. Now why doesn't?
27:00
Dwayne. Huson!
27:01
Do it! He's been the angel, every other
27:04
year I told you mr. Hussein moved hula for Nia.
27:08
He made a couple of those who mangy movies.
27:10
Remember this is your hoop or tunity to be part of the who
27:13
Christmas play. If I can't be married, Don't
27:17
want to be in the play at all. Daddy.
27:23
Why does Mommy get upset every year at Christmas?
27:28
I guess she doesn't get what she really wants.
27:31
But is it Christmas about the giving?
27:34
Not the get it, huh? You say something, what are you
27:38
doing? Awake, aren't you supposed to be
27:40
sleeping? Little girl.
27:42
Come on back to bed. I can't sleep excited about
27:46
tomorrow, huh? Christmas is the best time of
27:49
year. If you ask me.
27:50
Dad was. I wrong about wanting to Ranch
27:53
to get saved. Well, Cindy, some people just
27:56
don't want to hear about Jesus. I know that.
27:59
But doesn't God. Want everyone to be saved so
28:02
they can go to heaven? Well, yeah, so if they did
28:06
listen, they could get saved if they wanted to cut in pay.
28:10
I suppose so the Holy Bible tells us to go into all the
28:14
world and preach the gospel to Every Creature.
28:17
Doesn't that include the grunch? Yeah.
28:20
Well, oh, so. That's where this conversation
28:24
is going. Listen, we've had enough of the
28:27
garage today to last us until next Christmas.
28:31
Let's talk about it then now go to sleep.
28:34
Yes sir. What a girl?
28:38
It's Christmas Eve and all she can think about is getting the
28:42
garage saying. Well, the whose World tucked all
28:47
snug in their beds without even a thought of the grunch in their
28:51
heads, they whispered their prayers for the grunch, there
28:55
were none, unless you count, Cindy Lou sprayer.
28:59
There's one Come on.
29:12
Max Max. What have you been doing
29:16
snooping around the presence again?
29:18
How many times have I told you? We don't believe in Christmas.
29:21
You're getting no presents for me.
29:24
Are you sure? This is Cindy lose room.
29:26
Oh, let's send it through in the bed.
29:29
Looks like you were right for once.
29:30
Help me find baby Jesus. Jesus, where are you?
29:39
There you are. I don't understand all the
29:42
hoopla, baby. Jesus is plastic.
29:46
Oh well, I'll take the Christ out of Christmas and leave them
29:49
with a letter x. Wait till they see what I've
29:52
done. I've changed their Christmas to
29:55
Xmas all wrapped nicely in a baby blanket.
30:00
Conch is that you? Who were you expecting Shrek?
30:05
What are you doing here? Um, the Should didn't cut by
30:09
Young Cindy Lou would his plan be discovered or what could he
30:13
do, how could he explain his presence that night?
30:16
So he thought of a lie thinking it was.
30:19
All right, am I wanted to talk to you?
30:24
I'm really sorry about today. I just wanted you to hear about
30:28
how and why? Jesus was born apology accepted,
30:32

30:34

30:37
world. So, So you'll come you bet your
30:40

30:45

30:48
Merry Christmas I'll be praying for you.
30:52
What did you say? I'll be praying for you.
30:54
I don't think anybody's ever prayed for me before.
31:00
What's this? My heart is.
31:01
Starting to soften get ahold of yourself.
31:05
You ruined the play tomorrow, how are you ruined?
31:07
The play. Oh, you'll see.
31:09
I mean, I was thinking about ruining the play tomorrow, you
31:13
know, shooting spit wads at the angel that sort of thing.
31:16
But now that I've talked to you, I'm not going to shoot any spit.
31:20
Wads at the angel, my prayers already working.
31:24
Good night, mr. Grinch I love you, Cindy Lou
31:27
laid back down and closed a sweet eyes.
31:31
As the grant stood there, fighting a new feeling inside,
31:35
then he looked at the doll with a new kind of thought.
31:38
I should give the doll back and didn't shook his head.
31:43
Watch this love that I'm feeling I've not felt before I need time
31:50
to think and he walked out the door.
31:53
Come on Max. Max.
32:03
At last. It was Christmas.
32:04
The whose favorite day and the grand settled in, for The Who
32:08
Christmas play. Aren't you paying attention?
32:11
It's an ex misplay. Get it right?
32:13
Or I'll have your job. This play would be different
32:17
with grants special effects for the Christ and who Christmas had
32:21
been replaced with an ex Grant special effects.
32:25
I like that as find a good hiding-place Max where we can
32:29
see everything. What I wouldn't give for a
32:31
picture of their family. he says, when they find it X in the
32:34
place of Jesus, Betty, you make a lovely angel.
32:42
What made you change your mind before I went to sleep?
32:46
I told God. I was giving him all my worries
32:48
and cares. It's almost as if my heart was
32:51
softened overnight, I realized that we're supposed to do
32:54
everything as unto the Lord there.
32:56
You are Cindy, where'd you go in such a hurry, you left your doll
33:00
laying on the floor by the front door.
33:02
Oh no, I forgot baby Jesus don't worry.
33:05
I already gave it to miss who VA.
33:07
Now I know why the mayor wants to be Joseph every year.
33:09
Sheath hot. As Mayor of Who-ville, I like to
33:20
thank all of you for coming to the who Christmas play this,
33:23
fine, Christmas morn. Let's not forget the real
33:27
reason. We celebrate this time of year.
33:29
We remember the birth of our Lord and Savior.
33:31
Jesus Christ, born King of the hooves.
33:39
I bring you good news of great joy for everyone.
33:46
Somebody hit me with a spit wad so I lied just keep going
33:53
tonight. In Bethlehem, the savior is
33:56
born, can we see the one born King of the whose baby Jesus is
34:05
missing? What do you mean, baby?
34:08
Jesus is missing. There's just an X an ex, how
34:13
could this happen Cindy? D.
34:15
Where's baby? Jesus.
34:17
Um if you don't mind, could you please not yell at my?
34:21
Yes, Lou never mind. Cindy is this your ex?
34:27
No, I don't know how it got there.
34:30
I bet it was the grunch who stole baby Jesus.
34:34
The crunch last night. So it was the grunch.
34:38
This is all your fault. Cindy Lou, you've ruined our
34:41
whole Christmas play. You've made a mockery out of the
34:44
birth of Jesus. How do you feel now huh?
34:47
Now, hold on. Just a who minute.
34:50
If anybody has made a mockery out of the birth of Jesus, it's
34:54
all of us. What?
34:57
Every year we put on this play and for what?
35:00
So the same people can play the same parts for the same
35:04
audience. What's the point?
35:07
When's the last time someone has gotten saved at one of our
35:10
plays, the whole reason for the birth of Jesus is to make
35:14
people's lives better. Better.
35:15
Well, if anybody's life needs to get better it's the garage.
35:19
He lives all alone. Did anyone get him a present
35:23
this year? Has anyone ever given him a
35:27
present? The only one I know of that's
35:29
given him a gift, is God when he sent Jesus, but how will the
35:34
garage know? Unless someone tells him I'm
35:37
proud of you? Cindy you tried to get us to
35:40
understand the real Christmas spirit.
35:44
I'm proud of you. You know, when the grand should
35:47
the truth of the birth of the Christ, his heart, softened war
35:51
and tears came to his eyes. And without even thinking, he
35:55
bowed his grunch head, Jesus Come into my heart, he said, and
36:01
just like that manger. The first Christmas morn, a
36:04
miracle, and side of the garage heart was born.
36:08
You see, the birth of the Savior happens again, and again,
36:12
because God's plan is that Jesus be Born in all men.
36:17
I've got Jesus. Oh, I love you, Max.
36:23
I love, everybody. Give me back, Jesus.
36:28
I can't give him back. He said he would never leave me.
36:31
What did you say? Jesus said he would never leave
36:34
me. I'm not alone anymore.
36:36
You mean, baby? Jesus.
36:37
Spoke to you. Not a doll.
36:39
The Jesus that I asked to come live in my heart.
36:42
God, he found you the garage, She saved the garage is save.
36:48
The grunch is see. Congrats don't know shown on the
36:52
gradually. Don't touch me, mr.
36:59
Mayor, I'm sorry. I ruined your Christmas play.
37:03
No hard feelings. There is no harm in.
37:05
AA little handshake. I suppose too slow.
37:08
Hey oh that reminds me. Max go get the bag of presents.
37:12
We had the other day. Thanks for For me, Cindy, and
37:16
for helping me get the best present ever.
37:18
I love you. I love you too, mr.
37:21
Grunch Merry Christmas everyone. Thank you.
37:24
Merry Christmas, Merry Christmas.
37:27
Merry Christmas, mr. Grinch, thank you.
37:30
Merry Christmas. Merry Christmas, mr.
37:32
Grunch, thank you. Thank you.
37:34
Thank you. Merry Christmas, so mr.
37:38
Garage, tell us what you learned.
37:40
Well once upon a time, there were shepherds sleeping on a
37:44
hillside in Middle of the night when suddenly a big green hairy
37:48
Angel appeared scared the heebie-jeebies out of them and
37:51
told him about the birth of the baby Jesus.
37:56
That was a Christmas that who's all.
37:58
Remember and they invite strangers now, every December
38:03
and now every year at The Who Christmas play, It's the grunch
38:07
that helps everyone who wants to to pray everyone.
38:12
Bow your heads and pray. Or I'll hunt you down and gut
38:16
you like a fish.
