Written by Theodor "Dr. Seuss" Geisel and Albert Hague in 1966
With lyrics like "Your brain is full of spiders" and "You're as cuddly as a cactus" this 1966 classic doesn't initially scream Christmas at you; however, this gem is the most recognizable song from a movie that (at the heart of it) is about the good, non commercial aspects of Christmas.
You would be hard pressed to find someone who does not look forward to watching How the Grinch Stole Christmas (1966) if they happen to stumble upon it around the holidays. Thurl Ravenscroft's "Grinch" is so iconic by itself that it now stands alone as a Christmas standard and is a must at Christmas parties.
Mr. Grinch, you’re a three decker sour kraut and toad stool sandwich with arsenic sauce; but we still love you.

I must admit, I did not see this one coming. Good choice though. And yes, the movie presents the best of what Christmas entails: home for regeneration and transformation; hope for healing, wholeness, and mended relationships.
