She Couldn’t Believe It When She Found Out What Her Secondhand Christmas Ornament Really Was

Published on 02/27/2020

Her child lifted the mysterious object and turned it over. At that moment, something inside of it moved. In a low voice, her daughter said, “There’s something inside.” While she was not totally convinced, she changed her mind after something incredible happened. Trust us, this is not a normal story.

Something Else Entirely

She used her flashlight to take a better look at this heart-shaped object. She managed to make out a few round shapes in its glass. After seeing that there was something in the cavity, she figured out that this was not the Christmas ornament they thought it was. No, it was something else altogether.

This gorgeous glass ornament was lying among other Christmas decorations at the display table at the local Savers. Priscilla saw that it only cost $2 and had no hesitations about paying for it right away. She bought the ornament and brought it home. In her mind, this was going to be a great addition to the Christmas decorations at her home. She was also considering giving it away as a gift.

She looked at the small figures etched into the metal around the glass. At first, she thought that they were little angels or Vikings. She decided to look at the ornament one way and then another. She liked the way the glass sparkled whenever the light from the kitchen window shone down on it.

If there was really something inside this trinket, Priscilla could not find it. She decided to hang the ornament on a kitchen hook and mostly forget about it until her daughter went over for a visit. Kat, her daughter, was a fan of glass art. She had such a passion for glass design and blowing that she launched a business about the art form.

Speaking of this famous quote, it looks like it is not that rare for a prized possession to be found somewhere unexpected. Ivelise Hernandez was at the St. Petersburg-Clearwater Airport when she witnessed something going on. Her boyfriend, who was accompanying her, had been with her at the time. Ahead of them was a male passenger who was forced to leave behind a parcel that he had with him. Ivelise had no idea that this was going to be an important moment for her.

As they were waiting for their turn, the man ahead of them was having a problem with the airport staff. They figured out that there was something in his bag that was not allowed to go on the plane.

You might not know this, but this part of traveling was much less strict in the past. After 9/11, the world decided to be stricter when it came to travel regulations. The Transport Authority of the United States, also known as the TSA, has implemented guidelines on what is and isn’t allowed in carry-on luggage.

After the tragic 9/11 incident, security personnel needed to get used to the resentment of the passengers. It is pretty common to notice passengers rolling their eyes after hearing the request of the officials. On top of this, many travelers need to throw away some items before they could board their planes. There are times when stuff like toothpaste has to be forfeited.

Rico and Ivelisse watched as this man got more and more frustrated. They could that the item he had with him was something valuable to him. He tried to compromise with the agents and asked if there was anything that he could do to keep it. Sadly, the TSA agents turned him down. They said that there was nothing for him to do but to throw it away. The couple decided that they had to help him out.

The male passenger was begging and pleading with the agents, but they stood their ground. After some time, he gave up and had no choice but to simply throw the parcel away. He was sullen as he brought it out of the bag and dumped it in the trash bin nearest to him. Of course, Ivelise had to board the plane as well. Before she did that, however, she spoke to Rico about a pretty unusual request.
