Ah, the Grinch. No matter how hard you try, you just can't bring yourself to hate him.
There's no denying just how relatable he is. He basically expresses all our sarcastic inner thoughts that we're too scared to express ourselves. Sure, a lot of people call him the villain, but he's actually one of the most relatable heroes of Christmas. Here are a few times when the Grinch was pretty much speaking for all of us.
1. When we all just need some time by ourselves
Sometimes we all need some alone time. The best company can sometimes be yourself, and when you finally stop cancelling dinner with yourself, it can be extremely satisfying.
2. When you're just hanging out around the house
Picture this, you're home alone, chilling on the couch watching Netflix, and there's a whole bunch of food in the pantry practically calling your name. What else are you supposed to do? Yes, you're just bored and not actually hungry, but that jumbo bag of popcorn isn't going to eat itself!
3. When you're going out with friends
Contrary to popular belief, much like the Grinch, you do actually leave the house to do things! So when your friends invite you to go somewhere, you've got to make sure the outfit is absolutely perfect. What's the point in going out if you're not going to look amazing?
4. When you realize that said outfit just isn't gonna cut it
Like I said before, if that outfit's not perfect, then there's no way you're leaving the house. That's one of the most important parts of the night and definitely something that requires a ton of effort.
5. When people are playing Christmas music before Halloween
I'm speaking for the rest of the population here because I'm one of those annoying people who plays Christmas music before Halloween. But I can speak from experience when I say that when I play Christmas music before Halloween, it drives my friends CRAZY. Maybe the reason the Grinch hated Christmas so much was because people start celebrating it before Halloween!
6. But when Christmas actually comes around, you're fully ready to celebrate
It's finally time for the best season of the year! I'm sure you're very excited for it and getting into the spirit like the Grinch.
7. And finally, when your professor tries to assign homework over the break
You're too busy celebrating Christmas and spending time with friends and family. Who has time for homework when you're doing all that? By this time of year, everyone has earned a break and a time to just cheer up and enjoy the season. The Grinch got that chance, so you should too!
He may be a mean one, but he's also a relatable one! Everyone's favorite green grouch definitely knows how to deal with situations that we face every day. Whether you hate him or love him, there's no denying that he's got this Christmas thing pretty much down.
