It’s that time of year—the time of year when we all need to watch this viral video again. And if you haven’t seen it before, watching it is about to become your new favorite holiday tradition. The video from 2022 shows a man removing the ties around a live Christmas tree his family has brought home to decorate for the holidays. He removes the ties one by one, building to the moment the bulk of the Christmas tree breaks free and knocks the man down. It happens so fast, you’ll need to rewatch the video at least twice.

TikTok user nmusso001 posted the video, which has over 27 million views. You can hear her and at least one child in the background as the hilarious scene unfolds.
Watch a Christmas tree knock a man down here:
For the record, we don’t think this takes any points away from this guy’s “man card.” We’re just impressed he managed to get this tree in the house in the first place. (And look how much effort it took to get this same tree down after the holidays!)
