Don’t let the grinch steal Christmas this year! According to legend the Wahoos in Charlottesville served as inspiration for the Whos in Whoville in the Dr. Seuss classic How The Grinch Stole Christmas. Intrigued? We have a whole blog post breaking down the legend here. This holiday season, Red Pump is here to ensure the Grinch doesn’t steal Christmas!
