Boy Investigates Why This Christmas Grinch Keeps Throwing New Items Away - True Colors Revealed (Inspiring Video)

Christmas is a time for family and giving. But for others, it becomes quite stressful.

It does bring a lot of pressure like making sure the entire family gets together (and gets along), that you get the right Christmas presents for everyone and that you still come in under budget on everything, and that's a load! It can also be a hard time for those who are alone or those feeling lonely during the holidays.

To unpack all the complicated feelings that come with this holiday season, a UK-based company - Farmers Department Store, decided to run a commercial about it.

The video they put together has been gaining attraction on the internet.

Grumpy old man.

At the beginning of the story, we see that an older couple is living next to a young family with a little boy.

In fitting with the conventional image, the main character is a “grumpy old man” neighbor who is always bothered by the noise and chaos going on next door. Still, things get more complicated when he sees that the boy has broken his mom’s French press. Feeling for the mom, the old man goes out to a store, buys a new french press, but makes it look older in his garage.

Old man pretends to throw an “old” french press.

He later goes out to the street pretending to throw it away but ends up giving it to the family—though the boy is a little suspicious.

This pattern of secret gift-giving continues throughout the video.

After the first episode, the old man sees the father next door fanning himself with a newspaper while comforting his baby. You can guess what happens next: the old man goes to the store, buys a fan, makes it look older and leaves it on the curb. The family takes it yet again, and all is right with the world. Still, the climax of the video comes when the little boy addresses a card to Santa.

Boy suspects something is odd with the old man.

Rather than leave it at his house with his card to Santa, the boy brought milk and cookies to the old man next door.

The message of the video is winning internet viewers hearts.

Boy decided to give cookies and milk to “Secret Santa”.

The Christmas season can be a beautiful time for those with families and means, but it can also be a trying time for those without. This clip invites viewers to open up their hearts to their fellow, to look beyond stereotypes and to get into the Christmas spirit.

After all, the true meaning of Christmas is sharing.

“When we remember a special Christmas, it is not the presents that made it special, but the laughter, the feeling of love, and the togetherness of friends and family that made that Christmas special.”
