The Grinch

Pharmacist on behalf of the ONU HealthWise team

The 2018 release of The Grinch is the highest grossing Christmas movie of all time. The movie surpassed Home Alone and How the Grinch Stole Christmas (2000 release). Dr. Seuss’ 1957 book "How the Grinch Stole Christmas!" was the inspiration for many movie adaptations. 

Holiday movies started playing on television in October of this year. They are a major draw for viewers. Although there is no statistic on how many Christmas movies we will watch on average this year, there is an abundance of opportunities. The media releases suggest 170 new Yuletide movies were made this year with the Hallmark and the Lifetime channels accounting for 66 of them. 

Country music star, Blake Shelton and his mother, Dorothy Shackleford have worked together to produce Christmas movies for the Hallmark channel. The 2022 movie was the fifth installment of their series titled Time for Him to Come Home for Christmas. This movie premiered on November 26, 2022. 

With so many hours of Christmas movies available to watch, what is the harm? Christmas can be an ideal time to binge-watch movies. One after another!

Hi! I am Holly Craycraft, and I own hand + home co. I live in Bluffton, where I have a small herd of dairy goats that I raise and milk to make goat’s milk soaps and lotions. I just opened a brick and mortar shop in downtown Findlay that expands upon my farm business.
