Christmas can have a real melancholy aspect,
cause it packages itself as this idea of perfect family cohesion,
and love, and you're always going to come up short,
when you measure your personal life against,
the idealized personal lives that are constantly thrust in our faces, primarily by TV commercials.
And the Grinch, with his Grinch-feet ice cold in the snow, stood puzzling and puzzling, how could it be so? It came without ribbons. It came without tags. It came without packages, boxes or bags. And he puzzled and puzzled ''till his puzzler was sore. Then the Grinch thought of something he hadn''t before. What if Christmas, he thought, doesn''t come from a store. What if Christmas, perhaps, means a little bit more.
Christmas - that magic blanket that wraps itself about us, that something so intangible that it is like a fragrance. It may weave a spell of nostalgia. Christmas may be a day of feasting, or of prayer, but always it will be a day of remembrance - a day in which we think of everything we have ever loved.
Let Christmas not become a thing
Merely of merchant''s trafficking,
Of tinsel, bell and holly wreath
And surface pleasure, but beneath
The childish glamour, let us find
Nourishment for soul and mind.
Let us follow kinder ways
Through our teeming human maze,
And help the age of peace to come
From a Dreamer''s martyrdom.
