Can't say which is favorite Tree or Tradition. I love everything about Christmas.<br /><br />We do have one tradition though that has been passed down on my husband's side of the family. It's the pickle present. It is German in origin. The ornament is a small pickle and the person who finds it on the tree first gets the pickle present. Usually chocolate.Christine Younghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04009319154924162270noreply@blogger.com
