Who is the Grinch?
The Grinch is a fictional character created by Dr. Seuss. He first appeared as the main antagonist in the 1957 children's book, How the Grinch Stole Christmas!
The devious, anti-holiday spirit of the character has led to the term Grinch coming to refer to a person opposed to Christmas time celebrations or to someone with a coarse, greedy attitude. In fact, a document in the live-action film (the Book of Who) stated that "The term Grinchy shall apply when Christmas spirit is in short supply".
The Grinch has since become an icon of the winter holidays, despite the character's hatred of the season, and has appeared on various forms of memorabilia such as Christmas ornaments, plush dolls, Halloween Costumes, and various clothing items.
In 2002, TV Guide ranked The Grinch number 5 on its "50 Greatest Cartoon Characters of All Time" list (Wiki)
The Grinch's hatred of Christmas derived from a traumatic childhood memory. As an 8-year-old, most of his classmates made fun of him because of his beard when he tried to shave it to look his best during Christmas Day. The mocking laughter of the classmates made the Grinch so angry that he took out his rage against the classroom, frightening the classmates and declaring his hatred for Christmas before running away to live in the top of the mountain.

Harden not your heart like the Grinch,
Learn to forgive
And Give Love on Christmas Day.
"Cause Love Begets Love!"
