Two-panel comic. Panel 1: a green Grinch-like character in a red Santa suit and hat raises a finger and muses in a speech bubble, "What if Christmas... doesn't come from a store? What if Christmas, perhaps, means a little bit more!" A small Christmas tree and tiny figures are in the background. Panel 2: the green character looks at a glowing screen showing a forum titled "ECONFORUM." A question reads "What if Christmas doesn't come from a store?" and the answer reads "The economy of China would collapse." The joke: the Grinch's heartwarming anti-consumerist epiphany is met with a cold economic reality check. Votey (aftercomic): a hand-drawn box reads, "Moral: Handmade gifts are for commies."
