Merry Grinchmas

18/12/2024

Night quietly fell over the town, windows glowing with warm lights and Christmas songs filled the air.

But in the darkness stood the Grinch.

Not angry, not evil - just watching.

He gently took a single red ornament from the tree.

Not to steal it, but because something didn't feel right.

If Christmas it truly about love - he thought - then why does it feel like so many are only pretending?

Holding the ornament in his hand and he smiled cheeky.

Maybe he didn't hate Christmas at all. Maybe he just disliked a world where shine mattered more than real feelings.

And as he disappeared into the night, the little red ornament shimmered softly in his hand. As if he still believed that somewhere, a true and genuine Christmas existed.
