Everyone gather around for a wild Christmas story that will shock you! So, TikTok sensation @brettbratt359 had the surprise of her life recently when her Christmas tree revealed an unexpected guest. Picture this: she hears a sneeze, thinks it's one of her pets, no big deal.
But then, she hears it again. Cue investigation mode. And what does she find? A "big, long-looking rat tail" casually hanging out in her Christmas tree. Talk about a holiday surprise, right? In her own words, "I was in shock. I didn't know what it was." Turns out, nestled among the ornaments was a "giant gray, breathing ball of fur" – a possum had decided to make itself at home in the holiday spirit. Now, that's a Christmas story for the books!
“I am literally freaking out right now,” Brett says. “I have no idea how this possum got in my house and up into my tree and I’m trying to get it out but it will not let me and I just don’t know what to do.”
“I don’t know how it got in here, I don’t leave my doors open,” she added.
She posted another video, showing a closer look at the possum, refusing to budge from his hiding space in the artificial tree.
“You’re really cute, but I don’t know what to do,” the woman says.
In a follow-up video, the woman explained that animal control wouldn’t visit after hours, so she had to take matters into her own hands. After attempting to coerce the possum out with food, she decided to reach in and grab him, wearing protective gloves in case the animal got aggressive.
The possum wasn’t aggressive, but he was stubborn, to the point where she had to pluck his fingers off the branch, causing a small fall off the tree.
The ordeal wasn’t over, as the possum quickly ran under her couch, and she had to repeatedly chase the unexpectedly fast animal around her house.
“I moved the couch with all my force and just went for it and tackled him like an NFL football player and got him and calmed him down,” Brett said, before letting him out outside.
She said the possum wasn’t aggressive but did smell quite bad: “As an animal lover with three dogs, two snakes and a bearded dragon and a cat, I probably would have kept it if it didn’t smell so horrid,” she said.
Brett still isn’t sure how the possum got in, her only guess is that it ran inside after her pet dogs.
Now, that's what you call a surprise! Happy to see this lady safely escorted her unexpected possum pal out of the tree. Here's hoping he's living his best outdoor life, maybe chilling in a real tree. Share the quirky adventure!
