I’d love to hear some of your favorite Christmas traditions! 🎄✨
One of mine? This little hedgehog puppet. 🦔
For the past five Christmases, he’s been sitting proudly on top of our tree. The very first year it was just the three of us on our own, I was setting up the tree and suddenly realized we didn’t have a topper. I looked around and asked my oldest what we should put on top.
His puppets were all lined up, so I asked him to choose one — and Mr. Hedgehog was given the honor.
Since then, without fail, he’s gone right back on top every single year. When we open the decoration box and see him staring up at us, the boys light up with excitement as they help place him back where he belongs.
For them, it’s joy and magic.
For me, it’s a reminder of the peace, growth, and hard work we’ve poured into building the life we have now.
This little hedgehog will forever be one of my top five favorite Christmas traditions. 💛
Now tell me — what’s a tradition that makes your heart smile every year?
