Mum creates unbelievable 'Grinchmas' tree... people don't know whether to love it or freak out

This mum's Christmas creation is pretty impressive... but it's really freaked some people out.

The very extra 'Grichmas' tree is not only decorated to the brim with red, green and white baubles, striped candy canes, a gingerbread man and lights - but also has a life-sized Grinch.

The woman posted the images of the incredible bargain DIY creation to the Extreme Couponing and Bargains Facebook group - racking up 6,000 comments and more than 16,000 likes.

She has been inundated with praise.

The mum captioned the post: "My very own Grinchmas tree. May of [sic] took 3 hours but I'm in love. Thanks to my mum, I can't take all the credit."

Some people have dubbed the tree the 'best ever'. Others REALLY don't like it.

"This is great but also very scary lol. I think if I came down stairs on my own I would jump," one person said.

Another posted: "I have Christmas tree jealousy right now."

"Very clever, but I couldn't sit in the room with that at night," someone else said.

"That looks amazing! Well done," praised another.

 A final comment read "That will scare the c**p out of my two."

Pleased with the popularity of the post, the mum has revealed exactly how she made the impressive tree.

Love it or totally terrified? (Facebook)

She started by covering the tree in decorations and lights which were bought from Argos and Amazon.

But the most impressive part is the Grinch itself.

She stuffed a Santa outfit - which she found on eBay - with pillows before using Santa hats for feet and a Grinch mask for the head.

For the finishing touches, she added a Grinch plate at the bottom and created a fake snowy base.
