The images, in black and white, show her alongside someone dressed as the Grinch and another of her with Santa Claus, with Adele smiling widely, clearly having a good time. The caption with the images reads: “We both tried to ruin Christmas but then both our hearts grew! Thank you for coming to my party and making us feel like kids Grinch.”
