Summary

The Grinch has a bone to pick with Christmas trees. Nothing says “holiday cheer” like chopping down a living thing and evicting a few perfectly tasty forest critters. Then, fellow holiday-hater, Jameela Jamil drops by and shares her own tradition, celebrating Hanksgiving, a day devoted entirely to the films of Tom Hanks. Could this be love? Maybe. Could it be indigestion? Also maybe. Meanwhile, Grinch-A-Palooza planning is running wild with a budget that’s burning faster than fruitcake.
