Nope, you're still not a festive fan!

You’re full Grinch, there’s nothing about Christmas that excites you, or makes you happy! There isn’t a Who on Earth that could change your mind. But if you’re set on changing that cold heart of yours into something that looks and feels a bit more like a brussels sprout, then you’ve got a long way to go!

Result: Alright

Christmas is tolerable!

That’s right! Okay, so maybe you don’t hate Christmas as much as you used to, but as you spend a little bit of time with the Whos, and other real-life people that do like Christmas, there’s something to like about it. Maybe not much, but perhaps you don’t need to try and ruin it! But you’re still the kind of person that doesn’t like Christmas cards!

Result: Christmas is fine

Christmas is okay!

You’re well down the long road to losing that Grinchy attitude of yours. Sure there might be some things that annoy you about Christmas, but the soul of it is nice, and it’s nice to see all those faces you often miss. So while you’re not the kind of Grinch that decorates a tree you still enjoy the smile on people’s faces as you pass them a present.

Result: Christmas is great

Christmas is great!

You’ve done it, you passed through the whole of the Grinch’s redemption arc! You might not have always loved Christmas, but now you know what it’s really about! Love, family, friendship and caring for others! It’s probably been a long journey for you, but just like the Grinch, you got there in the end! So enjoy those sprouts, and cherish the time with your friends and family. You made it!
