The classic Christmas tale, "How the Grinch Stole Christmas," is known for its heartwarming message of the importance of love and kindness, despite being originally published as a children's book in 1957. The story centers around the grumpy and grinchy Mr. Grinch, a Scrooge-like figure who lives in a cave above the town of Whoville. In an attempt to ruin Christmas for the residents, Mr. Grinch steals all the presents and decorations from their homes.
