TikToker @empease7 was curious to know what was rattling around inside some of her Christmas tree ornaments, so she took a stick and broke one open—and it was full of insects.

A woman on TikTok unlocked a new fear after revealing the contents of the "rattling" Christmas tree ornaments she retrieved from storage.

TikToker @empease7 took to the platform after the noise her ornaments were making piqued her curiosity.


She explained that she had just taken them from storage when she noticed the peculiar sound.

"Alright, when I got my ornaments out of storage today, I noticed that a bunch had this weird rattle sound."

The TikToker explained that she is a firm believer in investigating "red flags," so she "had to know what was inside."

Unfortunately.

She continued:

"So, I did the sensible thing, and grabbed a stick."
"I whacked it, and oh. my. gosh."

That was the moment the creator realized her ornaments had been infiltrated by insects.

As the bugs scattered from the wreckage, the TikToker added:

"Look at the ants that were coming out of this thing."
"It was terrifying."

You can watch below.

PSA: If you stored ornaments in a cardboard box, give them a good shake outside before decorating inside. #christmas #ornaments #nightmarebeforechristmas #ants #ornamentsmash #fyp

Viewers of the viral TikTok, which has been seen more than half a million times already, were equally as mortified as the TikToker herself.

We sure hope the TikToker got some new ornaments...and checked the rest of her house!

AOC Saves The Day By Giving Bronx Middle School Group A Tour Of The Capitol Amid Shutdown

New York Democratic Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez had people cheering after she stepped in to act as tour guide after a group of middle schoolers from the Bronx pulled up to the Capitol hours after the U.S. government officially shut down.

The federal government shut down early Wednesday after the White House and Congress failed to reach an agreement on federal spending. While Senate Democrats are in the minority, they hold enough seats to filibuster and are insisting that Republicans agree to extend federal subsidies for people insured under the Affordable Care Act.

GOP Lawmaker Sparks Outrage After Calling For Dem Rep. To Be Executed For Urging People To Protest Trump

On Wednesday, September 25, an Arizona MAGA Republican state Representative publicly called for the execution of Washington Democratic Congresswoman Pramila Jayapal because she urged anyone displeased with MAGA Republican President Donald Trump's job performance to exercise their First Amendment right to free speech and to protest.

Apparently, urging citizens to make their voices heard was a step too far for Arizona state GOP Representative John Gillette, who responded to a clip edited out of a longer video by right-wing account The Patriot Oasis (TPO). A quick scan through Gillette's X account media posts will reveal his political leanings.

Liberal TikToker Mortified After Discovering That Her Therapist Is Hardcore MAGA

There used to be a time where politics did not have to come into every room or be a part of every conversation. But in a world with President Trump and MAGA, it's not as simple as being Red, Blue, or Green anymore.

Now, the sociopolitical climate is dangerous for many people and still very stress-inducing for others. It's important to surround ourselves with people who make us feel safe and seen—and unfortunately, that might mean cutting out people who have "different beliefs" than we do.
