The story of How the Grinch Stole Christmas delivers the true meaning of Christmas to children of all ages. The Grinch is a character that is ostracized from the Whos of Whoville. The Grinch is tall, green, and has terrible hygiene, while the Whos love to primp and preen themselves to perfection. The characters do not look at all human, yet have human characteristics. This makes them easily relatable to young children and helps them to receive the lessons contained in the story. As How the Grinch Stole Christmas is a wonderful lesson for children, you might want to include additional Grinch-themed activities over the holiday weekend.

By using characters that don’t look the same as the common person, children often find it easier to relate to the emotions and plot being expressed. For example, Sesame Street characters come in all shapes, sizes, and colors. There is no room for racism or prejudice when lessons are taught through characters that are purple, blue, yellow, red, and green. Similarly, Dr. Seuss used characters that children could identify with on an emotional level, yet couldn’t isolate into categories of race or ethnicity. These methods help combat racism and prejudice in young children. Because How the Grinch Stole Christmas tells the story of a member of the community who felt isolated and unloved, yet learns how to open his heart, and likewise, the community learns how to accept him and show him love, the moral lessons in How the Grinch Stole Christmas cannot be overlooked. This is the perfect story for Christmas as it reminds children and adults not to look at the material aspect of the holiday, but to embrace one another with love and kindness.
