Today is Do a Grouch a Favor Day. We all know someone who is almost always grouchy and grumpy. It seems to be some people\u2019s nature to just be grouchy. There have been a lot of famous people (both real and fictional) that fall into the grouch category.<\/p>\n
Ebenezer Scrooge was a penny-pinching, Christmas-hating curmudgeon
\nArchie Bunker was about as grouchy and grumpy as you can get
\nI\u2019d say that the cartoon character Maxine would qualify as a grouch
\nThe Grinch \u2014 anyone that steals Christmas is certainly a grouch
\nGrumpy (of the Seven Dwarfs) is a grouch \u2014 maybe with people like Dopy, Sneezy, etc. around, he had good reason
\nAndy Rooney got paid to be a curmudgeon and tell us what was wrong with the world
\nAnd then there was the most famous grouch of them all \u2014 Oscar the Grouch<\/p>\n
Grouches are eccentric, pessimistic, argumentative people. Being as grouchy and miserable as they possibly can be seen to be is a grouch\u2019s main mission in life. A true grouch will never admit to being happy no matter what.<\/p>\n
I think Do a Grouch a Favor Day is an excellent holiday. Grouches have a tough life. Of course, like everyone, we only see one side of a grouch \u2014 we usually never hear their side of the story. Maybe that grouchy person that you know is playing the hand he was dealt pretty well. Who knows what your favorite grouch might become with just a little kindness? So try to do him or her a favor today \u2014 or \u2014 at the very least raise a glass to that person.
