I happened to be working from home today (too much to go into the office after an OB appt/internal exam) and the UPS man dropped off a box. Inside was the prettiest pickle ornament from my "Secret Santa", jessi720. I love the pickle!
For those of you who may not know, there is a German tradition of hiding a pickle ornament on the tree and the first child to find it on Christmas morning receives a present. My great Aunt Rosemary has held this tradition for over 50 years and I think her pickle ornament is older than that!
Even though our little one will only be a week or two old this Christmas, I wanted to continue the pickle ornament tradition in our family. And I know that this pickle ornament will be a favorite in our family for many many years. And what's even cooler is that my Secret Santa's family follows the pickle tradition, too!
Thanks to Johanna for setting up the exchange. It's really a lot of fun and helps to get to know some of the other Nesties.
Re: Got Our Ornament!
Wow that was fast!!! I had read your pickle ornament description when you posted on your wishlist, and thought it was the cutest thing ever.
Great Jessi, what I way to make the rest of us look slow. Now we have to pick up our game. lmao (I'm only teasing with you Jes lol)
Don't worry my elf. I have your ornament. I'm just holding off on it because I don't think it's good enough so I'm trying to spruce it up a little lol
