The Grinch's Hidden Pain

Have you ever wondered why the Grinch hates Christmas? People think he's mean but the truth

is, he is traumatized. He wasn't born hating joy. He was just a sweet

boy who wanted to belong. But when he tried to join their parties they mocked his

green fur. They laughed at him. He ran to the snowy mountains to hide

his broken heart convinced he was a monster who deserved to be alone. He built a wall

around his feelings just to survive the cold. The real villain wasn't the boy on

the mountain, it was the town that made him feel like a mistake.
