Hiding the Pickle on the Christmas tree is a tradition our family has had since the boys were small toddlers. The boys would rush down the steps to find the pickle. Whoever found the pickle got an extra gift, so of course they tripped over one another to get to the tree first. Winning the pickle prize was quite an accomplishment.
The typical prize would be a game or toy the boys could share.
As they grew, the pickle prize lost it's luster.
The boys no longer cared if they won the prize or not.

This year the Pickle Prize was $40.00
It's amazing how the mention of prize money will have teenagers moving at the speed of light.
But I hid the Pickle really, really well….
The tree almost tipped over….
and they searched and searched….
and we have a winner!!
