The Grinch has stolen Christmas in Deception Bay.

A poor family has had their Christmas lights display destroyed in an act that goes completely against the spirit of the festive season. 

Andrew Tett, the victim of this senseless crime, told Bill McDonald on 4BC Mornings, the reason for his light display. Mr Tett said, "It's for all the kids, everyone's going through a tough time, and it's just to make everyone feel better."
