Although he pulls off the theft successfully, on Christmas morning, he is shocked to hear the Whos still singing cheerfully, happy simply to have each other.

Unable to stand the holiday any longer, he decides to destroy it once and for all.Īided by his pet dog, Max, he meticulously designs a red suit to disguise himself as Santa Claus and breaks into the Whos' homes on Christmas Eve while they sleep to steal everything they own, right down to the last crumb of food they have, and dump it off of a nearby mountain. Though always hateful, he especially hates the Christmas season, making particular note of how disturbing the various noises of Christmas time are to him, including the singing of Christmas carols. The reason for this is a source of speculation the consensus among the Whos is that he was born with a heart that they say was 'two sizes too small'. In contrast to the cheerful Whos, the Grinch is misanthropic, ill-natured, and mean-tempered.

He has spent the past 53 years living in seclusion on a cliff, overlooking the town of Whoville. In full-color adaptations, he is typically colored yellow green. The Grinch is depicted as a green, pot-bellied, furry, pear-shaped, snub-nosed creature with a cat-like face and cynical personality. He is best known as the main character of the 1957 children's book How the Grinch Stole Christmas! He has been portrayed and voiced by many different actors, including Boris Karloff, Hans Conried, Bob Holt, Anthony Asbury, Jim Carrey, Rik Mayall, Benedict Cumberbatch, Matthew Morrison and David Howard Thornton.
