‘Themed Christmas trees are a new tradition for us!’ she told FEMAIL. ‘When I was younger we had the least colour-coordinated tree every year but now the over-the-top is way better.’ 

Leteesha says she is completely obsessed with the Grinch and watches the beloved holiday movie every night from November 1 to Christmas Day in order to get into the Christmas spirit. 

‘So many people have tagged me in Grinch trees this year – I honestly don’t know why it took me this long to decorate one,’ she said.

She also credits her Grinch-obsessed two-year-old niece for inspiration.

‘I’m so excited to see her reaction and share it with her!’ she said.
