With Christmas just around the corner, kids around the globe have started prepping their Christmas list. In fact, few people have begun sharing videos of ‘Christmas Explosions’ that showcase their perfectly decorated trees. Well, decorating is a crucial and special part of the festive season.
Keeping this in mind, an airport in Lithuania has taken a unique approach for their Christmas decorations this year. Aviation security at Vilnius Airport has displayed a tree made entirely from prohibited items that were confiscated from passengers, reports Daily Mail.

The tree has been decorated with objects like bullets, scissors, lighters, pocket-knives and other random items that passengers had in their luggage or in-person while boarding their flights. Described as an “educational masterpiece”, aviation safety officers decorated the tree in order to urge travelers to not carry any of the banned items while flying, reports News 18.
