It was tradition, as many things are at Christmastime.
Every holiday season, my mom and I would watch “How the Grinch Stole Christmas”. It had always been her favorite, and so by default, it was mine as well. We would laugh at Max, with that poor antler tied to his head, and sing the song in our “best” deep voices, and oooh and little Cindy-Lou Who, who was so tiny and cute.
When the live action version came out, with Jim Carrey, we saw it, but it wasn’t the same. Of course. Nothing compares to the OG, right?
When it comes on now, I still watch it. And I still laugh, and sing along, and think Cindy-Lou is adorable. But its not the same without my Mama.
This one’s for you, Ma. Merry Christmas. xoxo
