The story of how the Grinch stole Christmas is a classic tale of a bitter, green-skinned creature named the Grinch who lives in a cave on Mt. Crumpet with his loyal dog, Max. The Grinch has grown bitter and resentful after years of watching the Whos in Whoville enjoy the spirit of Christmas with their loud caroling and boisterous merrymaking. So, the Grinch decides to take matters into his own hands by plotting to steal Christmas away from the Whos, leaving them without presents or decorations.
