The Grumpy Scale

The Grumpy Scale measures from 1 to 5…5 being grumpiest. I tied each number to a “beloved” holiday movie icon to make things more festive. Here’s how it breaks down.

• 1 - Buddy the Elf, Elf - blindly optimistic.
• 2 - Abominable Snow Man, Rudolph the Red Nose Reindeer - serious tooth pain, general yelling
• 3 - Clark Griswold, Christmas Vacation - screaming at in-laws; stringing together obscenities
• 4 - The Grinch, The Grinch that Stole Christmas - my shoes are too tight. Or maybe my head isn’t screwed on just right.
• 5 - Louis Winthorpe III, Dan Akroyd in Trading Places - grizzled, bitter, broken, getting fish stuck in my Santa beard
