It’s the holidays, which means it’s either a really fun or really irritating time for you! No matter your feelings, it’s always fun to cozy up with hot chocolate (or eggnog, or a hot toddy, or coquito) and watch a familiar favorite. Perhaps How the Grinch Stole Christmas?
57 years old today, SyFy shared a few facts about the holiday classic.
Let’s face it, the holiday season isn’t for everyone. For those of you out there — for whatever reason — who aren’t feeling the festivities, it’s nice to know author Theodor Seuss Geisel, aka Dr. Seuss, wrote How the Grinch Stole Christmas! as the alternative to all of the unfettered cheer. The story was so well-received that its since been adapted into every medium, including live musical theater and a podcast. But per Rotten Tomatoes, it’s the 1966 animated special of How the Grinch Stole Christmas!, as narrated by Boris Karloff, that still grabs the shriveled hearts of most.
