Who-ville,
the tall and the small,
was singing! Without
any presents at all!
He HADN'T stopped Christmas
from coming! IT CAME!
Somehow or other, it came
just the same! And the Grinch,
with his Grinch-feet ice-cold
in the snow,
stood puzzling and puzzling...
"How could it be so?
It came without ribbons!
It came without tags!
It came without packages,
boxes, or bags!"
And he puzzled and puzzled,
till his puzzler was sore.
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!"
- Dr. Seuss
