A dad was left spooked when he noticed a face resembling the Grinch in his Christmas tree. <\/p>\n

Daniel Martyn, 39, was shocked to find a pair of eyes staring back at him as he unwrapped his new 9ft tree. He called over his six-year-old daughter to take a look, but she was so frightened that she ran into the kitchen.<\/p>\n

Luckily, the 'spooky' face has now become a fun addition to their festive decorations. Daniel and his partner even plan to give it its own set of decorations.<\/p>\n

At first, Daniel thought the chipped wood looked like the Grinch's smile.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Daniel, an IT project manager from Gravesend, Kent, said: "I thought it looked like it had a kind face so it's not going to cause us any mischief but my daughter wanted me to cover it up at first – she even ran into the kitchen!<\/p>\n

"I can definitely see the Grinch in it – if you stare at it long enough you see a nose as well!<\/p>\n

"But I don't stare at it for too long as it gives me the creeps!<\/p>\n

"When I first saw it I thought someone had drawn it on – It's just the luck of the draw with the tree I assume.<\/p>\n

"Either way, we'll have to learn to love it as it's too late to be getting another tree so we've decided to call it Kris after Kris Kringle."<\/p>\n
