At first i thought it was cruel because the kids looked really scared.. but then i remembered that most children react that way to father christmas when they are little too !

Kids that young cry at santa too. They are getting traumatised no matter who they see. We all know these photos are for the grown ups and not for the kids.

The fantasy has been ruined for the little ones.
Restrict this type of thing at a dfferent location for the older children who see the funny side of it

Depends what age the child is. Looks like the younger ones are frightened so in that case I wouldnt do it.

This is great. I think sometimes thinking outside the box can create a lot of fun for the kids as well as the parents.

The pictures look funny.
However personally I wouldn’t find delight when my kids were truly scared. Mind you, this monster could follow them in their dreams in the night, robbing them of their feeling of safety !

I feel very sorry for the little ones in the grinch photos as they look distressed. Some of the older children seem to be ok with the grinch in the photos. I would not choose this as a parent. Christmas is a magical and fun time; not a time for upset and tears. I do not get any joy out of seeing children distressed.

These photos are great, the Grinch looks super realistic! Some of the younger one look pretty freaked out by him.

Haha those poor kids, some look terrified. Pretty funny though

I think its cute. Something different and fun for the kids

Love them! I think they are a great spin on Christmas photos

Some kids are scared of anyone dressed up santa or grinch.

that’s awesome, love it!!

Love it! I want a grinch xmas photo. Tho I do worry abt occ health and safety. That grinch could put his back out, or drop a kid

Despite the tears I actually love these. Funny and original!

I wouldn’t deliberately make my kids cry!

  No! Me either! Actually quite sad to see them frightened.

My kids don’t even like taking photos with Santa let alone the grinch.

Personally I like it with older kids that are not scared and know what’s going on. With smaller kids, I find it quite cruel and disturbing. 🙁

Oooo those poor kids will have aweful memories about Christmas how sad that it was done in fun prob for the adults but the kids look so upset I’m not too keen on this!
