There is an entire song dedicated to his ickiness. Among other things, the Grinch is a monster, a rotter, vile, foul and nasty. His heart's an empty hole and his soul is full of gunk. He's the king of sinful sots!
Look at this "grinch song" from the Bible:
“As the scriptures say, No one is righteous— not even one. No one is truly wise; no one is seeking God. All have turned away; all have become useless. No one does good, not a single one. Their talk is foul, like the stench from an open grave. Their tongues are filled with lies. Snake venom drips from their lips. Their mouths are full of cursing and bitterness. They rush to commit murder. Destruction and misery always follow them. They don’t know where to find peace. They have no fear of God at all."
Romans 3:10-18
That's talking about us- everyone. We're all Grinches! In other words: your soul is an appalling dump heap, overflowing with the most disgraceful assortment of deplorable rubbish imaginable!
"For everyone has sinned; we all fall short of God’s glorious standard." Romans 3:23
God's punishment for sin is Hell but He loves all of us Grinches.
"Yet God, with undeserved kindness, declares that we are righteous. He did this through Christ Jesus when he freed us from the penalty for our sins. For God presented Jesus as the sacrifice for sin. People are made right with God when they believe that Jesus sacrificed his life, shedding his blood..." Romans 3:24-25
And just like the Grinch's heart grew three sizes; our dirty, sinful hearts are washed clean when we accept God's forgiveness through Jesus. And even though we still sometimes act like nasty,wasty skunks; God no longer holds it against us. We know we'll be with Him someday in Heaven and we can truly have a merry Christmas.
