I was very careful to use the word "resources" instead of "money", because there's so many things you can give people that you don't buy at the store. . .

Resources like time and skill?

Resources like a giant pile of presents. I'm totally sure I'm the only one who has actually seen/read the whole thing now.

That or contacts, teachers, disciples, land, genius, inspiration, a hoard or collection of some sort, obsession, endurance, strength, even dexterity, or a neighbor with unprotected wi-fi. Get creative.

So we are clear

To put it in a simpler way. The citizens are not made happy by receiving gifts, they were happy before that occurred. The Grinch however was made happy upon giving the gifts.

...You didn't know that a Doctor Seuss story was originally a book?

No, no, no, no, no. The Grinch and materialism??? Pah. You guys are missing out on the best moral in a Christmas movie ever.
We're No Angels (1955). A trio of escaped convicts, led by Humphrey Bogart, and their pet poisonous snake named Adolph, save Christmas by killing a guy who is a jerk. The end. And the reason WHY they kill the jerk? Because he was going to make his cousin, who runs the jerk's store on Devil's Island, spend Christmas Day going over the store's account books with him. The cousin hasn't been doing a good job of keeping accurate account records and it was going to look like he stole from the store, which, by the way, is never actually DIRECTLY addressed as being false. They also kill off the jerk's nephew because he doesn't have romantic feelings for the shopkeeper's daughter. MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE! So it's basically A Christmas Carol where instead of showing Scrooge his evil ways, the ghosts decide to kill him via poisonous snake bite, and then kill his nephew Fred because he said something mean about Tiny Tim. But seriously though it's an awesome and hilarious movie and you should all watch it.
