Merry Pickle!

I think its obvious that I pride myself on friends and family, so Christmas is a HUGE deal. With family comes tradition and with all the new adventures taking place in this life of mine I have decided to start a new Christmas tradition. It may be old news to some but it is something so new to me, the pickle ornament. The story goes a little something like this (well the one im using anyway):
      The fab Christmas tree is glitz and glammed ending with the last ornament, the pickle. It is tucked deep within the tree, hidden to the naked eye. Christmas morning the lucky one who finds this ornament is left an extra little gift from ol St. Nick. One story I strolled across said it to be an act for the children to notice and appreciate the tree for all its beauty instead of racing for the presents, however I doubt that will be the case for my two girls but they are digging the new tradition and the pickle that will soon be placed upon our tree.
