I'm going with Rodoulph because I don't know who the other is.
I'm really liking the Grinch because, yeah, that's me right now. thea

Josh, Hero - Rudolph  
Villin - grinch               
No plans for new years yet...

Rudolph is sort of the underdog.  Or Underdeer, which sounds a lot like underwear but it isn't, really. But it does make a nice metaphor.  And I would anty up on Bumble against that greeny meany any day!   Dave

 

I pick Cindy Lou and the Grinch, mostly because claymation SCARES me.  I don't know what it is, but even Gumby creeps me out!  How can I care about Rudolph and the Snowman dude when I can't even bring myself to watch?  Maybe it's thinking about the people who actually manipulate the clay characters.  Each little guy on one of those shows has a million different grubby paw prints on it.  AND- no matter what these "technicians" do, the characters can't move fluidly.  It's just not cool.  I like Cindy Lou and the Grinch, because they end up friends in the end.  That's my kind of villian!  I like to believe there's good in all of us....  Haha, there's a little cheesy Christmas spirit for you all!  --Maggie

 

Hero- Rudolph for sure!  I don't even know who Cindy Lou is...?

Villain- The Abominable Snowman!  That guy is scary. 

as an addition to this poll let me just say that the Greatest Holiday Movie is White Christmas!  "Sister, Sister...."

I am so excited to watch it again!  Krista

 

Well Rudolf is just plain annoying in the movie but without his nose so bright Mr. Santy Claus wouldn't be able to come to my house every year.  So I will have to go with Rudolf and the Abominable Snow Man...he seems a lot dummer than the Grinch so i sort of feel sorry for him.  What ever happened to .."Olive, the other raindeer?" (all of the other raindeer)  heh heh.  Corrie

 

Shoot.  I’m going with Rudolf and good ol’ Bumble…Rudolf is a hero in the classical sense.  He is sent out from his homeland on an uncertain quest full of unknown hurdles.  He finds allies and must overcome difficulties.  Eventually he makes his long quest home and saves what may have been lost.  It’s classic…think Odysseus…as for Bumble…again, a classic villain—only violent because of his own inner turmoil.  Beautiful.  As for the grinch…I couldn’t really even consider it thanks to Jim Carrey. An explanation of Cindy Lou…In my mind, she represents all of the whos in Whoville…Josh
