My two-year –old is not fond of The Grinch so she can relate to Chris Young.  For Chris, growing up watching the television classic Rudolph, The Red-Nosed Reindeer was more childhood trauma than yuletide drama.

"I was afraid of the Abominable Snowman when I was a kid," Young admits. "There's that whole scene where he comes up over the top of the mountains and his hair flies up.... Anytime I got left in the car by myself [and] it was wintertime, I was afraid the Abominable Snowman was going to come get me. It was terrible."

Maybe as terrible as believing The Grinch is going to steal your presents.
