Grinch outfit mum bought from Amazon left kids 'traumatised'

A mum who ordered a Grinch costume off the internet said it left her kids “traumatised” when it arrived.

Angie Dickinson, 43, said she bought the £40 festive ensemble off Amazon last week, which she hoped to wear to Christmas fairs and parties throughout the yuletide season. But when the mum-of-five slipped into the costume, featuring a Santa's coat and face mask, her daughter Luvenna, 17, screamed at her.

The Grinch, a fictional character created by Dr Seuss and later played by Jim Carry in a film, is a creature who tries to “cancel” Christmas by stealing gifts and decorations.
