It's the same old story the Doc published back in 1957, but with some tweaking. The Grinch's grinchiness back-story is told and wha'da'ya'know there's a love interest involved. Also, little Cindy Lou isn't simply the sweet faithful who of yester-century; this who's got some Christmas suspicions of her own, "Presents? Isn't that superfluous?" Later she sings, "Did Christmas change or was it just me?" The maturing child perspective makes a nice addition to the collection of Holiday tales.
