A Grouch's Christmas

A Grouch's Christmas is a 1990 Sesame Street storybook.
Oscar the Grouch is the only one on Sesame Street who isn't looking forward to Christmas. Elmo rounds up some friends to help show Oscar some ways even HE can appreciate the holidays. He and his mommy make him some sardine Christmas cookies with chocolate icing. Ernie and Bert show that tree decorating isn't an exact science by bequeathing Oscar with a small Christmas tree decorated with tin cans, orange peels, and string. Big Bird points out that Christmas includes being with one's family, which gives Oscar the idea to invite Grundgetta over for a nice day of arguing. Herry Monster (dressed as Santa Claus) and Luis, who have been working to collect for the needy, take away the too nice-looking scarf that somehow ended up in Oscar's can. Finally, Count von Count shows that you can count your friends among your blessings at Christmas time. Oscar now knows how to appreciate the holiday season, and he joins his friends in a carol sing.

The book was reprinted in 1994 by Merrigold Press and again in 2005 by Dalmatian Press as Elmo's Delicious Christmas. It was reprinted again in 2007, with altered credits: "Written by Michaela Muntean and Elizabeth Clasing."
The retitled book changes the identity of the maternal figure to Elmo's Aunt Sue (labeling her apron with the name), since Elmo's mother would later undergo a redesign.
It was also released as a book and tape set, first from Golden, and then from Sony Wonder. The voice cast included Camille Bonora (the narrator and Elmo's mother), Kevin Clash (Elmo), Caroll Spinney (Big Bird and Oscar), and Jerry Nelson (the Count and Herry).
