Text on the meme

On May 2, 2011, the United States conducted Operation Yuletide Spear, in which SEAL Team Six infiltrated Mount Crumpit and killed the Grinch in his cave overlooking Whoville.

What it means

A mock military operation report shows six armed U.S. Navy SEALs standing outside a snowy cave, with a body resembling the Grinch lying in front of them. The joke parodies the 2011 raid that killed Osama bin Laden by replacing him with the Grinch and turning the fictional Mount Crumpit and Whoville into a military objective. It is used as an absurd reaction to portray an exaggerated, over-the-top response to a Christmas-related problem.
