Hi One Artsy Mama readers!
I couldn't be happier having the opportunity to participate in the {Our} Home for the Holiday series.
I'm Meagan, the heart behind 2 Little Love Birds.
The place where I share a little crafting,
a little cooking,
and a lot about my everyday life as a newlywed to my husband Nic.
The man who swept me off my feet with his gorgeous blue eyes and charming wit.

Those of you who are married know that the first year is a time of transition.
A time where his friends become yours.
His happiness become your happiness.
And at this time of the year in particular, his traditions become your traditions.
Well, after unpacking all of our childhood Christmas decorations that our parents had so sweetly packaged up and gave to us,
I watched as Nic's face lit up with pure joy when he pulled this bad boy out of his box.
Please tell me you think it is ridiculously GIANT to you!
I couldn't even help myself but to laugh that his parents filled this whole thing every year!
Then I open my box to discover the funny little tradition from my own family that I get excited for every year.
His reason to laugh at me this time.
After setting up our Christmas tree, this pickle ornament is hid amongst the branches.
The person who finds it gets to hide it the next year!
Look who won this year - I'm convinced it was beginners luck!
If you have little ones, it is even more fun! They love it!
A big thanks to Amy for letting me be a part of this series.
I hope you will stop by 2 Little Love Birds.
I'd love to meet you!
Ooo, we do the pickle, too!!! My 9 year-old son hid it this year and he did too good of a job. We seriously took 38 minutes, with step ladder and flashlight in hand, to try to find it. He couldn't remember where he placed it since the day after Thanksgiving and so we were really at a loss. I suggest children do not hide the pickle:-)
ReplyDeleteWe do the pickle ornament after my SIL introduced it to us several years ago, but Santa hides it so the kids (mom and dad, too, I suppose, but "I" usually know where it was hidden) search for it in the morning. Santa leaves a little something extra for the pickle finder. (Usually a game that the family can play.) I have a friend that her Dad gives $20 to the pickle finder. They may or may not have multiple pickles depending on the number of people there on Christmas morning.
ReplyDeleteLove these variations! It is such a fun tradition! Thank you again Amy for letting me be a part of this special holiday series. I've loved reading every single one of them. You are such a sweetheart :)
