"How The Grinch Stole Christmas" and other Christmas stories

We have reached a wonderful time of the year... Christmas Time. Many countries celebrate Christmas in many different ways but with one common goal: spread joy, light and love by decorating their houses, businesses, streets, trees and everything you can imagine.

It's a time of year where people come together and help each other out. There are no boundaries between them. Having all of these thoughts and images floating in my mind along with beautiful songs I thought it could be a nice idea to share some of my most beloved Christmas stories. 

I'll be posting one per day for the next 10 days. There is no ranking involved just my wish to share and spread some hope, laughter, love and peace to anyone who wants to read or listen to them.

I'll start things off with a CLASSIC children's story:
