How the Grinch Should have Stolen Christmas

Everybody knows the story of how the Grinch stole Christmas, but not a lot of people have put much thought into how he could have successfully pulled off the heist. So let's take a moment to consider what could have been done to secure the stolen possessions.

1. Don't build a sleigh. You have the capability to industrialize so many different things, It should have been Anything BUT a sleigh.

2. Spend money to make money. - The Grinch decided to use his dog to pull the sleigh, if he wanted some power from Mother Nature, it should have been a focus on horses, or maybe some huskies. Buy a few, you can pay people back afterwards.

3. Invest in being able to get through front doors. It would have taken approximately 2 minutes per chimney to get into the house and then two minutes to get out. The Grinch was slightly overweight and was prone to getting stuck. 

4. Utilize social media and advertisement avenues. Highlighting the importance of going to bed earlier than usual for an even better Christmas would have gained an extra few hours and allowed the Grinch to actually hit the pharmacy and a few shops, maximizing his potential gain through theft.

5. Stop being so emotional. In the Jim Carrey version of How the Grinch Stole Christmas, it was proofed out that he was outcast and ostracized. Instead of allowing people that had shunned him a chance, the Grinch should have focused on the goal of taking everything.



I'm aware that you think I've missed the actual message of the story. I assure you I have not, but remember, there are many kinds of people in this world, and some of them enjoy being grinches more than being good people.

Merry Christmas, enjoy your roast beast.
