The Christmas Pickle
About the Book
The Christmas Pickle is a short children's book about what the author believes to be the true meaning of Christmas - It's better to give than to get.
Plus, the legend behind the Christmas pickle is interesting in itself. If you find the pickle ornament hidden in the Christmas tree, it brings good fortune or an extra gift on Christmas morning, sometimes both!
While it's unclear where this folklore comes from, we dug a little deeper into all the possible theories in the 2024 November newsletter.
Is there a Christmas pickle hanging in your family's Christmas tree?
The illustrations were completed by the extremely talented Maria Ahafonova, who is an artist that resides in Switzerland. She was an amazing contributor on this special project!
