The song is about Christmas from The Grinch's point of view I think. It was written for that movie with Jim Carrey after all and then repackaged onto 'Maybe This Christmas Too?' and more recently 'Barenaked for the Holidays'. It could also mean that they were jealous of the other people who were having fun. envy and green you know? Anyway, that's what Grinch really was so that fits in too.
