On Christmas Eve, some people deck the halls -- others apparently deck their folks.

Police in Connecticut say Francheska Terrero attacked her parents with a Christmas tree early on Dec. 24.

At around 12:30 a.m., West Hartford police received a call from a mother who claimed her 19-year-old daughter had hurled a tannenbaum at her father, NBCConnecticut.com reports.

While the mother was calling police, Terrero allegedly grabbed her mom's phone and chucked it at her father as well.

When officers arrived at the home, they found a Christmas tree on its side surrounded by shattered ornaments. They also encountered Terrero, who appeared "extremely intoxicated," according to WestHartford.Patch.com.

For the incident, which reportedly left her parents with minor injuries, Terrero has been charged with assault, disorderly conduct and interfering with a 911 call.
