The live-action Dr. Seuss’ How the Grinch Stole Christmas movie is a holiday classic, one that I’ve watched every year since it came out. Now that I’m an adult, I’ve been able to relate to the Grinch a little bit more as I get older. I’m still in the cave-dwelling, talking to his dog, and existing as a grouchy recluse phase, so maybe one day I’ll have his redemptive ending and come out of my room for more than a few minutes at a time.
1. We both eat too much
2. He feels the same way I do when I look through my Facebook newsfeed
3. If he can’t find something to wear, he doesn’t want to go out
4. He acts like I do when I’m trying on tight-fitting clothes
5. He always feels sorry for himself
6. He doesn’t have a strong sense of self-confidence
7. He barely socializes
8. Emotions aren’t his strong suit
9. His goals are pretty unrealistic
10. He reacts the same way I do when someone enters my room without knocking
11. His best friend is his dog
12. He acts like me when I’m lying awake in bed remembering that one embarrassing thing I did when I was 14
13. He’s me when I go out for a night and come back home
14. He has no tolerance for annoying people
15. Instead of doing anything productive, he usually does nothing instead
16. We have the same priorities when we’re trying to put something off
17. He has the same outlook that I do when I finish a test I didn’t study for
