Christmas is a blend of Old Country Customs, lovingly packed in the streamer trunks and brought to Canada by families across the oceans … The Legend of the Pickle Is just one of the many Old Country Customs…
​
Mother hides the pickle~ the last ornament to be placed on the tree Christmas’s Eve ~ the children in the morning must find the hidden treasure ~ the lucky finder gets an extra treat.
Another legend with German & Ukrainian roots. Mother cleans spotlessly, but  the spiders are curious as Christ Child is coming to visit, so they unknowingly create tinsel for the tree.

Tea Leaf Reading, known as the gentle art or practice of  Tasseography, is a lovely social ritual. As in order to read the tea leaves, one must be served tea and one cannot be rushed. As the tea is served steaming hot, and is sipped, one tends to slow down and nicely relax.

For hundreds of years, tea leaf readings have been practiced and yes it is one of those pleasant pastimes that we are losing. Some say it's the invention of commercial tea bags that sealed its fate.
great gift to add with tea cup & tea.
