"The Grinch franchise  (the 1966, 2000, and 2018 films) is the most popular, the most watched, and most lucrative holiday production in history. This 'heel…this vile one with termites in his smile…this seasick crocodile…A skunk with a heart full of unwashed socks…the king of sinful sots.' How can he be the most popular Christmas character since the nativity of Jesus and the coronation of Saint Nickolas? His enduring legacy is what he teaches us: No one has slipped so far into resentment and boiled so long in bitterness that they can’t be redeemed - that they can’t be reborn - restored - saved even - by grace."
