We can be made of leather or can be made of wool, we come in pairs and keep you from cold. What am I?

The Grinch

Grinch first appeared in Dr. Seuss's classic book How the Grinch Stole Christmas! The character was inspired by Seuss's own feelings about the commercialism of Christmas.
In the original book, the Grinch was not green! He was black and white.
He resides in a cave atop Mount Crumpit, which symbolizes his isolation from the joyful Whos from the town of town of Whoville.
Max, the Grinch’s loyal dog, was a late addition to the story.
Merriam-Webster officially added the term “Grinch” to everyday language to describe someone who dislikes or spoils holiday festivities.
What we learn from Grinch:
- Holding onto negativity keeps you from experiencing joy.
- Appreciate life’s simple joys and moments, not possessions.
- Forgiveness heals both the giver and the receiver.
