A Penticton family's missing prize Christmas Grinch mysteriously returned to their lawn overnight. 

The Hughes family on Granby Avenue always goes all-out with their holiday decorations, with a giant Grinch as the centrepiece, and when he disappeared earlier this week, they put out a public plea for a Christmas miracle. 

It seems to have worked, as the Grinch was returned sometime in the early morning Friday. 

"I guess someone's heart grew three times last night," said April Hughes, one of the Grinch's owners.
