As Tom said, I have also noticed there are "lands" on the bottom of the ornament, which that bracket is supposed to rest on when in the released position, but the bracket tends to expand and wants to fall alongside the lands, and needs to be squeezed to make it rest on them as you release your hold. If you get them landed right it usually just falls right out. Grab with channelocks or vise grips, pull & twist, hold pulled and squeeze bracket, release pull gently making sure both sides of bracket land properly. -Plop!-
