Oh you guys are fun! I need to hear things like this- I would never think of cute stuff like this on my own.

Btw- do you have a picture of the pickle ornament? Sounds hilarious!

I bought it at Target!

You hide it on Christmas morning in the tree and the first one to find it gets a "special" gift! It's suppose to be a German tradition.

I like that- really unique idea!

What gift would they win? I am curious- would it be a treat or trinket?

I haven't decided yet.

My kids all love those white chocolate covered Oreos that they make only around Christmas, so it might be a box of those.

Re: White Elephant Ideas

I read somewhere that the one that finds the pickle gets to be the first to open their presents, so that might work for some.

That is a fun idea! I'm going to do a door prize. I think I might do some riddles and the first that guesses, gets the prize!

Little fun things like that add to the family memories!
Renda! I remember you saying this last year - that you were going to save that Onion Soup Box and see how long it would last. LOL!

My mother in law has been doing this for a long time. I had never heard of it until I got with my husband. Whoever finds it gets $20.

Re: White Elephant Ideas

Years ago, I read about some friends who exchanged the same fruitcake every year, back and forth, wrapped very creatively. Once, it was encased in a block of concrete!
