Everyone knows the heart-warming tale of the mean green fiend who was as charming as a seasick crocodile until he discovered the true meaning of Christmas. Created by the whimsical Dr. Seuss, Grinch and the Whos of Who-ville will make your Christmas collection very merry. Your heart may even grow three sizes! This side and that side a fence may declare, but over and under both sides are to share. About Us: For 40 years, Department 56 has been creating holiday traditions passed down from generation to generation. The excitement of the holiday season comes home with intricately detailed villages from settings that inspire the imagination. Stroll through a small American town, enjoy a walk with Charles Dickens, or visit Santa in the North Pole. Our ornaments and figurines create even more opportunities to spread good wishes during the happiest time of the year.
