In How the Grinch Stole Christmas, the empty stockings hanging silently on the mantle are heart-wrenching. As the Grinch goes about robbing Whoville of its Christmas joy, the empty stockings act as a grim reminder to crush the happiness of these people. However, such an action does not dampen the spirit of those and teach the Grinch that Christmas is more than just gifts and decoration. The emptiness he created becomes symbolic of his own heart, making the final transformation, when he returns everything, feel almost like a triumph of kindness, growth, and the true spirit of Christmas.
