The Grinch-Post #3

A movie that I remember coming up as a little boy was the Grinch who Stole Christmas. This movie was my favorite on Christmas because I was a little boy that was interested in cartoon figure things. It use to get so bad to the point where I would not even go outside to play in the park with my friends or play football in the projects. 

A moment in the movie that stood out to me was when he was on a stealing spree taking everyone’s Christmas stuff. That is the best part of the movie to me because I like how he prepared before going on a stealing spree. The whole build up is exciting because I was wondering if he was going to actually do it. This was the most interesting part of the movie to me because a lot of action was going on. I like the way he was sneaky with stealing presents. People thought he was Santa Claus, so it was funny to me.

Christmas is my favorite holiday because the good vibe I get. A lot of my family comes back home to visit us. It’s just a good and happy feeling to be around your family. I used to also watch this movie with my family. I remember one day my family were all at my grand mom’s house watching the Grinch and eating popcorn. It felt good having all of them come back and spending time with us at my grand mom’s house.
