Description
Gather around as Barboursville Mayor Christ Tatum reads the holiday classic, "How The Grinch Stole Christmas" by Dr. Seuss. Enjoy!
A
Every
who
down
in
whoville
liked
christmas
a
lot
but
the
grinch
who
lived
just
north
of
whoville
did
not
the
grinch
hated
christmas.
The
whole
christmas
season
now,
please,
don't
ask
why
no
one
quite
knows
the
reason
it
could
be.
His
head
wasn't
screwed
on
just
right.
It
could
be.
Perhaps
his
shoes
were
too
tight,
but
I
think
that
is
most
likely.
A
The
reason
of
all
may
have
been
that
his
heart
was
two
sizes
too
small,
but
whatever
the
reason
his
heart
or
his
shoes,
he
stood
there
on
christmas
eve,
hating
the
whos
staring
down
from
his
cave
with
a
sour
grinchy
frown
as
the
warm
lighted,
the
windows
below
their
town,
for
he
knew
every
who
down
in
whoville
beneath
was
busy
now
hanging
a
mistletoe
wreath
and
they're
hanging
their
stockings.
He
snarled
with
a
sneer
tomorrow
is
christmas.
It's
practically
here,
then
he
growled
with
his
grinch
fingers
nervously
drumming.
A
I
must
find
some
way
to
stop
christmas
from
coming
tomorrow.
He
knew
all
the
hoo
girls
and
boys
would
wake
bright
and
early
they'd
rush
in
for
their
toys
and
then
all
the
noise,
all
the
noise
noise
noise,
the
one
thing
he
hated
the
noise
noise
noise,
then
the
whos
young
and
old,
would
sit
down
to
a
feast
and
they'd
feast
and
they'd
feast
and
they'd
feast,
feast
feast.
A
They
would
feast
on
who
pudding
and
rare
who
roast
beasts,
which
was
something
the
grinch
couldn't
stand
in
the
least
and
then
they'd
do
something
he
liked
least
of
all
every
who
down
in
whoville
the
tall
and
the
small
would
stand
close
together
with
christmas
bells
ringing.
They'd
stand
hand
in
hand
and
the
whos
would
start
singing
they'd
sing
and
they'd
sing
and
they'd
sing,
sing,
sing
and
the
more
grant
the
grinch
thought
of
this.
Who
christmas
sing
the
more
the
grinch
thought.
I
must
stop
this
whole
thing:
why?
A
For
53
years,
I've
put
up
with
it
now
I
must
stop
christmas
from
coming,
but
how
then
he
got
an
idea,
an
awful
idea.
The
grinch
got
a
wonderful,
awful
idea.
I
know
just
what
to
do
the
grinch
laughed
in
his
throat.
He
made
a
quick
santa
claus
hat
and
a
coat
he
chuckled
and
he
clucked
what
a
grinch
a
great
grinchy
trick
with
this
coat
in
this
hat,
I
look
just
like
saint
nick.
A
All
I
need
is
a
reindeer
the
grinch
looked
around,
but
since
reindeers
are
scarce,
there
was
none
to
be
found.
Did
that
stop
the
old
grinch?
No,
the
grinch
simply
said
if
I
can't
find
a
reindeer
I'll
make
one
instead,
so
he
calls
his
dog
max.
Then
he
took
some
red
thread
and
he
tied
a
big
horn
on
the
top
of
his
head.
A
A
A
Then
he
slid
down
the
chimney,
a
rather
tight
pinch,
but
if
santa
could
do
it,
then
so
could
the
grinch
he
got
stuck
only
once
for
a
moment
or
two.
Then
he
stuck
his
head
out
of
the
fireplace
flew
where
the
little
hoo
stockings
all
hung
in
a
row.
These
stockings
he
grinned
will
be
the
first
things
to
go.
Then
he
slithered
and
slunk,
with
a
smile
most
unpleasant
around
the
whole
room.
He
took
every
present
pop
guns
and
bicycles,
roller
skates,
drums,
checkerboards,
tricycles,
popcorn
and
plums.
A
He
stuffed
them
in
bags.
Then
the
grinch
very
nimbly
stuffed
all
of
the
bags
one
by
one
up
the
chimney.
Then
he
slunk
into
the
icebox.
He
took
the
who's
feast.
He
took
the
who
pudding.
He
took
the
roast
beast.
He
cleaned
out
the
icebox
as
quick
as
a
flash.
Why
that
grinch
even
took
their
last
can
of
who
hash?
Then
he
stuffed
all
the
food
up
the
chimney
with
glee
and
now
grinned
the
grinch.
A
A
A
But
you
know
that
old
grinch
was
so
smart
and
so
slick.
He
thought
up
a
lie
and
he
thought
one
up
quick,
why
my
sweet
little
taut,
the
fake
santa
claus,
lied,
there's
light
on
this
tree
that
won't
light
on
one
side.
So
I'm
taking
it
home
to
my
workshop,
my
dear
I'll
fix
it
up
there
and
then
I'll
bring
it
back
here
as
he
fibbed
fooled
the
child.
A
Then
he
patted
her
head
and
he
got
her
a
drink
and
sent
her
to
bed
and
when
cindy
lou
who
went
to
bed
with
her
cup,
he
went
to
the
chimney
and
stuffed
the
tree
up.
The
last
thing
he
took
was
the
log
for
their
fire.
Then
he
went
up
the
chimney
himself,
the
old
liar
on
their
walls.
He
left
nothing
but
hooks
and
some
wire,
and
he
took
the
last
speck
of
food
that
he
left
in
the
house
was
a
crumb
that
it
was
even
so
small
for
a
mouse.
A
Then
he
did
the
same
thing
with
the
other
who's
houses,
leaving
crumbs
much
too
small
for
the
other,
whose
mouse's
it
was
a
quarter
past
dawn,
although
who's
still
a
bed,
all
the
who's,
still
a
snooze
when
he
packed
up
his
sled,
packed
it
up
with
their
presents
the
ribbons
and
the
wrappings,
the
tags,
the
tinsel
the
trimmings
and
the
trappings
three
thousand
feet
up
up
the
side
of
mount
crumpet.
He
rode
his
load
to
the
tip
top
to
dump
it
poo
poo
to
the
who's
he's
his
grinchly
grinch
humming
they're.
A
A
A
Then
the
grinch
thought
of
something
he
hadn't
before
maybe
christmas,
he
thought
doesn't
come
from
a
store.
Maybe
christmas
perhaps
means
a
little
bit
more
and
what
happened
then?
Well
then
whoville
they
say
the
grinch's
small
heart
grew
three
sizes
that
day
and
the
minute
his
heart
didn't
feel
quite
so
tight.
He
whizzed
with
his
load
through
the
bright
morning
light
and
he
brought
back
the
toys
and
the
food
for
the
feast
and
he
himself
the
grinch
carved
the
roast
beast.
