Storyline
Everybody in Who-ville enjoys Christmas very much, but the Grinch who lived just to the north of Who-ville didn’t! So the Grinch tries to ruin Christmas for the happy Who-villains, only to realize that perhaps Christmas isn’t what he originally believed it to be. Maybe Christmas has a little bit more significance now!

“If your publisher is jumping up and down at the thought of your novel, it's because he's picturing the movie poster on the side of the bus.”
