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.

Lindsey Graham Scrambles To Post Macho Photo After He's Spotted Carrying Bubble Wand Around Disney World

South Carolina Republican Senator Lindsey Graham was widely mocked after making an attempt to repair his manly image after he was photographed at Disney World holding a bubble wand—very much enjoying himself during a partial government shutdown.

The shutdown of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is now the longest in history at 45 days and it will stretch on without an agreement between the House and the Senate as lawmakers prepare to leave Washington for Easter break; neither chamber is set to return to Washington until the week of April 13.

TMZ has for years generated controversy and attracted derision for its story gathering tactics, but it's actually earning a little bit of goodwill after asking people to submit photos of members of Congress on vacation during Easter break as the partial government shutdown reaches historic lengths.

Last week, President Donald Trump announced that he would deploy ICE agents to U.S. airports amid a partial government shutdown that has caused exceptionally long delays at TSA lines nationwide.
