the christmas pickle

The Christmas Pickle is a short children's book about what I believe to be the true meaning of Christmas - It's better to give than to get. 

Do you know the legend behind the Christmas?

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, our 2024 November newsletter dove a little deeper into all the possible theories. 

This story in particular was created from my own imagination, and I had so much fun doing it that there may be more stories about Little Susie in the future.

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 from Switzerland. She was an amazing contributor on this special project!
