Christmas movies!!

You're a mean one, Mr. Grinch.
You really are a heel.
You're as cuddly as a cactus,
You're as charming as an eel.
Mr. Grinch.
You're a bad banana
With a greasy black peel.

You're a monster, Mr. Grinch.
Your heart's an empty hole.
Your brain is full of spiders,
You've got garlic in your soul.
Mr. Grinch.
I wouldn't touch you, with a
thirty-nine-and-a-half foot pole.

You're a vile one, Mr. Grinch.
You have termites in your smile.
You have all the tender sweetness
Of a seasick crocodile.
Mr. Grinch.

Given the choice between the two of you
I'd take the seasick crockodile.

You're a foul one, Mr. Grinch.
You're a nasty, wasty skunk.
Your heart is full of unwashed socks
Your soul is full of gunk.
Mr. Grinch.
The three words that best describe you,
are, and I quote: "Stink. Stank. Stunk."

You're a rotter, Mr. Grinch.
You're the king of sinful sots.
Your heart's a dead tomato splot
With moldy purple spots,
Mr. Grinch.
Your soul is an appalling dump heap overflowing
with the most disgraceful assortment of deplorable
rubbish imaginable,
Mangled up in tangled up knots.

You nauseate me, Mr. Grinch.
With a nauseous super-naus.
You're a crooked jerky jockey
And you drive a crooked horse.
Mr. Grinch.
You're a three decker sauerkraut and toadstool
sandwich
With arsenic sauce.

I watched How The Grinch Stole Christmas tonight. It's funny to read those lyrics now that I'm older, I finally appreciate how ridiculous and fantastic they are. There are so many great Christmas movies it's hard to choose my favorites. But, I love lists, so here they are.

1. Charlie Brown Christmas
- I'm a sucker for Peanuts, and who doesn't hear Linus's voice when reading Luke 2.
2. It's A Wonderful Life
- Yes an obvious choice, but everyone loves it and I do too.
3. A Christmas Story
- Reminds me of The Sandlot except at Christmas.
4. How The Grinch Stole Christmas
- The TV original, not the idiot Jim Carrey remake.
5. The Nightmare Before Christmas
- The film is amazing, one of my favorites ever.
6. The Muppet Christmas Carol
- Hilarious as all the Muppet movies are. Kermit might be the most believable Bob Cratchet ever.
7. Home Alone
- Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

Only seven, but these are my absolute favorites.
