There are certain things you expect to find in a Christmas tree: ornaments, garland, lights, and ... possums?

One Texas woman, TikToker @brettbratt359, recently found one of the latter in her Christmas tree and had quite a harrowing evening getting it out of the tree and out of her house.

She was minding her own business when she heard a "soft sneeze," that she quickly determined wasn’t coming from her own menagerie of dogs, cats, snakes, and bearded dragons, so she followed the noise to her Christmas tree.

The interloping possum stared back from between the branches, and she didn’t know what to do.

@brettbratt359

I don’t understand how this thing is in my house right now.


She later posted an update with the whole story, including a harrowing tail of extracting the possum from the tree by hand, and chasing it around the living room.

Animal control, she said, was not helpful, as she lives in a small town and it was after-hours for the control officer.

Armed with rubber gloves that her out-of-state boyfriend had recommended, and knowing she needed to keep her actual pets away from the possum for everyone's safety and the possum’s well-being, she “just went for it.”

First, it clung to the tree with its little possum hands. Once she had carefully detached it from the tree, one finger at a time, it plopped to the floor, along with half of her ornaments.

Then began the real adventure, with the possum darting underneath one couch or the other. For everyone who has said that possums are slow, this TikToker begs to differ.

Obviously, “possum in a pear tree” was too irresistible a pun.

The possum seemed quite happy to make the tree his home.

Others pointed out the possum’s similarity to a cat ... sort of.

Really, people asked, what is with all of these animals in trees?

@sony3100/TikTok

In some cultures, a woodland creature in your tree is good luck.

The possum was finally relocated, but what an adventure for the Christmas season!

When it comes to sensitive subjects, some people make derogatory comments instead of having a hard conversation, either to pivot the focus or to try to feel superior.

In a podcast episode from just over a week ago, "Mamdani's Talent Knows No Limitations," Meghan McCain openly praised New York Mayor Zohran Mamdani and said plainly that Republicans "would be in trouble" and "should be scared" if the possibility were to ever arise for him to be able to run for President.

Viral TikTok Of Farmers Market Worker Allegedly Trying To Pass Off Produce From Grocery Store As Her Own Has Us Questioning Everything

Groceries are already expensive enough, and depending on where a person lives, they cannot guarantee the quality of the groceries that they're purchasing and eating. With many recalls going into effect right now, these concerns are especially important for produce.

TikToker Autumn of @wife_mama02 was alarmed when she went to the farmers market, only to catch an employee refilling a basket of blueberries for customers to purchase. The problem was that the employee was emptying out containers of what appeared to be store-bought blueberries into the bin.
