Last night we got our Christmas tree and tonight as we decorate it, the Christmas Squirrel will be placed on/in the tree. Then the guest that sees it and yells “SQUIRREL!!!!!” will get a prize. (The squirrel was a gift from my sister who loves National Lampoons Christmas Vacation as much as I do)
This has become our tradition, very much a take on the Christmas Pickle. If you have not heard of the Christmas Pickle tradition, take a look, I know you will want to get one.
The History Of The Christmas Pickle
Now since I brought up Christmas Vacation, remember when Clark brings a tree in the house that has a squirrel living in it? Have you ever brought a critter in your home in the Christmas tree? This story surprised me that the owl was living in their festive bush for a whole week.
