HOUSTON -- A northeast Harris County family is keeping an eye out for a Christmas grinch who vandalized their holiday light display, KPRC Local 2 reported Monday.

The Santos family spent 3 ½ days decorating their home for the holidays, but was left to wonder why someone stabbed the 8-foot snow globe they had in the front yard of their home in the 7000 block of Garnett Hill Lane on Saturday night.

The family set up a surveillance camera in hopes of catching the person responsible.

Harris County Precinct 4 deputy constables said they have received four reports of Christmas decorations being vandalized over the last three weeks.
