“The Grinch never hated Christmas. He hated people, which is fair”

“Just so we’re clear, The Grinch never really hated Christmas. He hated people, which is fair” is a jocular saying that has been printed on several images. How the Grinch Stole Christmas! (1957) is a children’s story by Theodor “Dr. Seuss” Geisel.

Wikipedia: How the Grinch Stole Christmas!
How the Grinch Stole Christmas! is a children’s story by Theodor “Dr. Seuss” Geisel written in rhymed verse with illustrations by the author. It follows the Grinch, a grouchy, solitary creature who tries to cancel Christmas by stealing Christmas gifts and decorations from the homes of the nearby town of Whoville on Christmas Eve. Miraculously, the Grinch realizes that Christmas is not all about money and presents.
 
The story was published as a book by Random House in 1957, and at approximately the same time in an issue of Redbook. The book criticizes the commercialization of Christmas and the holiday season.
