The Christmas Pickle

I wish I was as fortunate… as fortunate as me…

I wish I was the pedal brake that you depended on

I wish I was the verb ‘to trust’ and never let you down

(Just realized recently that “Wishlist” is a Pearl Jam Christmas song 🎅🏻. This song was one of my jams when I was 15 years old back in good ole 1998.)

The hiding of the Christmas pickle 🥒 ornament 🎄 is one of my favorite little Christmas traditions ❄️. My Mom hides it every year, and I don’t know how she does it, but everytime we end up taking at least a half an hour searching for that thing 😂.
