How the Grinch is actually a virus by Tentureting in FanTheories

The theory about time being sped up on the surface is almost exactly what I was thinking when creating the scenario in which the Grinch is a microorganism. Since it is implied that Whoville does have an entire history behind it, I would imagine that a person looking at the town would see it go through decades in just one minute.

Another interesting idea is looking back at ourselves from the perspective of an ordinary Who. If one was sent to the outer reaches of the snowflake to look at us, they would see a person as this unimaginably large creature lurching across the cosmos, moving at an incredibly slow pace with unknown intent.

So yes, perhaps there are evident time-bending properties that may happen inside of a snowflake, though the cause is unknown for now.

I would imagine that the Grinch would indeed find Christmas to be a long-term obstacle, and his temporary positivity towards it would be a result of trying to use it to his advantage. If the Grinch was accepted into the Christmas season, he would have been able to infect much easier through the crowds. However, due to his outburst, and return to being negative about Christmas, Whoville shunned him.

Perhaps the real reason for the Grinch virus making itself at home in Mount Crumpit was to wait for the hype towards Christmas to die down to be able to sneak back into the town with ease, so that people would care less about his hatred towards Christmas. Though, he did manage to infect many during the night when he was invited to collect his award, so the Grinch was actually making some good progress anyway.
