Be like the Grinch—he’s changed his way!
He bought Oberndorf socks for Christmas Day!”
“Why?” you ask, with puzzled cheer—
He’s grown a heart this time of year!
Not just a gift to warm some toes,
But one that helps bright futures grow.
For every pair he ...chose to share,
A matching gift goes everywhere!
Funds for scholars, hope renewed,
All because the Grinch pursued
A thoughtful gift—so smart, so nice—
That truly gives not once, but twice!
