【Priyani (2021) Hindi Short Film】

The Priyani (2021) Hindi Short FilmVilnius Airport in Lithuania is celebrating the holidays in the way only an airport can.

While families all over the world have been placing stars and angels atop their Christmas trees, the Lithuanian airport has fashioned a tree of its own. However, you may notice a slight difference between this tree and the traditional one.

This tree is decked with items confiscated from passengers during security screening, according to Marius Zelenius, Lithuanian Airports' Head of Communication. Knives, lighters, and scissors (oh, so many scissors) take the place of ornaments, lights, and ribbons. It's five feet tall and took over two weeks to craft, BBC Newsreported.

"We suppose, that there is so many scissors because travelers don't know that it's prohibited to take them on board," Zelenius told Mashable. "So, with this Christmas tree we want to grab the attention and to show what kind of things are prohibited to carry on a plane."

It's art, really. And it's also an aptly festive warning to air travelers of what not to pack when they head home for the holidays.
