The Whos in Whoville will cry “boo-hoo” when they wake up, for the Grinch has taken the Christmas away from them. However, as he stood there with his dog Max, he hears them sing. They warmly sing the Christmas song and happily stand and hold the hands of each other. And as the story tell, the Grinch heart became three size larger! He prevents all of which he has stolen from the Whos from falling down to the deep and dark valley, and returned them back to their . Why, you ask? Because he realize that Christmas is not about the materialistic value of the gifts, of the food for the feasting, but Christmas is about the being able to gather and show the love for each other in the family, between friends, or even between neighbors.
