In the movie, the Grinch who stole Christmas, we get a glimpse of what happens when we let our holiday traditions become the reason for the season, rather than doing things that connect us to the true meaning. When a tradition loses its meaning, it can do more harm than good. The Hero of the story, Cindy Lu, is a picture of the courage, hard work, and risk it takes to celebrate the true meaning of Christmas: to give to those who don’t give in return.
