Watch out, Piggies & Pals! It's Pinecone Day! Forage carefully! 🐹 🌲 🌲 🌲 🦔 🦔 🦔 🥕

As you deck your halls with boughs of holly and piney pinecones ...

"Think twice before you grab that cone—
Some have quills and minds of their own!"

Has your guinea pig fondness spilled over into hedgehog happiness?

In some Alpine and Slavic traditions, a pinecone placed on a windowsill or hung near a door could ward off troublesome spirits or “winter mischief makers” (the sort of impish beings blamed for lost objects and creaking rafters)!

Wheek! Wheek!
