In a bit of a pickle? Lighten up, have a giggle! 25 grinch quotes we have listed. So you’d smile even if the world is twisted.
Ever watched the film ‘How the Grinch Stole Christmas’? It was our Christmas tradition when I was younger to watch this film. No complaints though as it was my favorite Christmas movie of all time! I loved that this grumpy, crabby character can turn into someone with a big heart (literally in this case). The film gives a feeling of feathers floating in clouds.
The Grinch is such a classic that there are many versions and reboots. Kevin was even watching it in the hit film Home Alone and Home Alone 2! There’s also an animated film in 1966 (a good animated classic). And in recent times, it’s been rebooted as a computer-animated film starring Benedict Cumberbatch. Of course, this would not be possible without it’s original- How the Grinch Stole Christmas by Dr. Seuss.
In this article, we’ve listed the best grinch sayings, grinch christmas quotes, funny grinch quotes, etc. to help you relive your childlike happiness.

To start off, here are Dr Seuss Christmas Quotes:
#1
The Grinch hated Christmas! The whole Christmas season!
Now, please don’t ask why. No one quite knows the reason.

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!”
This grinch heart grew quote is something that makes me smile whenever I hear it. It’s the transition of a grumpy ‘ol bad doer into a wholesome community helper.

That the Grinch’s small heart grew three sizes that day!

And he, HE HIMSELF! The Grinch carved the roast beast!

Then he shook! What he saw was a shocking surprise!
Every Who down in Whoville, the tall and the small,
Was singing! Without any presents at all!

The 2000 version of How the Grinch Stole Christmas is definitely my favorite version of The Grinch. It has some of the best The Grinch lines.

#2 The Grinch: “Be it ever so heinous, there’s no place like home.”
#3 The Grinch: “4:00, wallow in self-pity. 4:30, stare into the abyss. 5:00, solve world hunger, tell no one. 5:30, jazzercize; 6:30, dinner with me. I can’t cancel that again. 7:00, wrestle with my self-loathing. I’m booked. Of course, if I bump the loathing to 9, I could still be done in time to lay in bed, stare at the ceiling and slip slowly into madness.”

They all come to me. In your garbage. You see what I’m saying? In your garbage. I could hang myself with all the bad Christmas neckties I found at the dump. And the avarice. The avarice never ends! ‘I want golf clubs. I want diamonds. I want a pony so I can ride it twice, get bored and sell it to make glue.’ Look, I don’t wanna make waves, but this whole Christmas season is…”

The Grinch: “I’m booked. Of course, if I bump the loathing to 9, I could still be done in time to lay in bed, stare at the ceiling and slip slowly into madness. But what would I wear?”
