He's A Mean One, Mr. Grinch - 1970

This GRINCH coloring contest sponsored by The Bon Marche appeared in a Washington newspaper on November 29, 1970. How The Grinch Stole Christmas!, the book by Dr. Seuss, was published in 1957. The wonderful half-hour television special by famed animator Chuck Jones premiered in 1966. Every Christmas as a child, and almost every Christmas as an adult, I have watched Rudolph, The Grinch and the Charlie Brown Christmas shows.
