A Charlie Brown Christmas represents from a Christian standpoint of what Christmas is all about. It's not about presents and a really nice Christmas tree and fancy decorations, but about God sending his only son as a sacrifice for us. Sometimes we Christians accept too quickly what the World says Christmas is about and we get too caught up doing the wrong things.
How the Grinch Stole Christmas comes mainly from a secular standpoint, but the lesson is no less important. The Grinch takes the presents and decorations and delicious food from the residents of Whoville because he thinks this is what Christmas is all about. In the end they show him that's it's much more than that. It's about loving one another and taking time out of your busy schedule to spend time with the ones who mean the most to you.
So this Christmas don't get so wrapped up (no pun intended) in buying presents for family that you forget to tell them that you love them. And don't get so involved in doing routine Christmas things that you forget to thank God for the miracle that he sent to us.
