Seussian Tunes


Usually I manage to miss out on the TV Christmas Specials, but this year I'm catching them all - Charlie Brown, It's A Wonderful Life, Bill Murray's excellent take on Scrooge. I'm steeped in moral messages, spiritual uplift and bonhomie. Hark the Heralds, Zuzu's petels and Mankind is my business, got it. Most lingering of all is that bah-hoo doo-ray carol from How The Grinch Stole Christmas. The show still stands up as an exceptional cartoon riff on malice, loneliness and sweet redemption.
