10 'The Grinch' Quotes That Defined Our Whole 2020 Mood

The, the, the... The Grinch.

10 'The Grinch' Quotes That Defined Our Whole 2020 Mood
IMDB

Since our youth, "How the Grinch Stole Christmas" has been considered a holiday staple. As we grew up, we only learned to appreciate the Grinch even more as we began to understand and laugh along with his cruel-humored jokes.

After seeing a few scenes from the movie and looking up some of his most iconic quotes, I've realized one thing. We've all turned into the Grinch this year. I mean who could blame us though, it is 2020. He's a mood™.

1. "Am I just eating because I'm bored?"

Let's be honest, we've all asked ourselves this question multiple times throughout this year (especially during quarantine).

2. "6:30 dinner with me. I can't cancel that again." 

Who else would we be having dinner with this year?

3. "Hate, hate, hate. Hate, hate, hate. Double hate."

I'd like to direct this one to the entire year of 2020.

4. "I guess I could use a little social interaction." 

I think we all feel this way at this point. Seriously, I miss normal social interactions.

5. "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." 

This year was filled with staring at the ceiling and scrolling through TikTok. Oh, and whipped coffee. We can't forget about the whipped coffee.

6. "Blast this Christmas music. It's joyful and triumphant." 

Personally, I know Christmas movies and music have been bringing me a lot of joy these past few weeks. So until the time comes, I am going to be rewatching Christmas movies on loop and blasting Christmas music.

7. "Help me... I'm feeling." 

This year really has made us feel a lot of different feelings. Maybe too many feelings.

8. "Be it ever so heinous, there's no place like home."

After spending so much time at home this year, it's total natural we are experiencing a love/hate relationship with it.

9. "If I can't find something nice to wear I'm not going." 

Let's be real. We all said this and, well, we were only going to the grocery store.

10. "Maybe Christmas perhaps means a little bit more." 

Although this year has been tough for a lot of different reasons, it has taught us to look at things differently. So I think just like the Grinch, we all will be moving forward with a different perspective.

The Great Christmas Movie Debate

"A Christmas Story" is the star on top of the tree.

The Great Christmas Movie Debate
Mental Floss

One staple of the Christmas season is sitting around the television watching a Christmas movie with family and friends. But of the seemingly hundreds of movies, which one is the star on the tree? Some share stories of Santa to children ("Santa Claus Is Coming to Town"), others want to spread the Christmas joy to adults ("It's a Wonderful Life"), and a select few are made to get laughs ("Elf"). All good movies, but merely ornaments on the Christmas tree of the best movies. What tops the tree is a movie that bridges the gap between these three movies, and makes it a great watch for anyone who chooses to watch it. Enter the timeless Christmas classic, "A Christmas Story." Created in 1983, this movie holds the tradition of capturing both young and old eyes for 24 straight hours on its Christmas Day marathon. It gets the most coverage out of all holiday movies, but the sheer amount of times it's on television does not make it the greatest. Why is it,
then? A Christmas Story does not try to tell the tale of a Christmas miracle or use Christmas magic to move the story. What it does do though is tell the real story of Christmas. It is relatable and brings out the unmatched excitement of children on Christmas in everyone who watches. Every one becomes a child again when they watch "A Christmas Story."

It's the most wonderful time of the year! Christmas is one of my personal favorite holidays because of the Christmas traditions my family upholds generation after generation. After talking to a few of my friends at college, I realized that a lot of them don't really have "Christmas traditions" in their family, and I want to help change that. Here's a list of Christmas traditions that my family does, and anyone can incorporate into their family as well!

It’s here; that time of year when college students turn into preschoolers again. We cry for our mothers, eat everything in sight, and whine when we don’t get our way.
