Tanya Valdez this Christmas helped create a Sonic the Hedgehog Christmas tree to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the character. The design is of even more special significance to her, because of a connection to her now departed father.
“This tree is also very special because my dad came to visit us Sunday evening, as we were working on the tree,” said Valdez. “It was nice to be able to work on Sonic Christmas ornaments and chat with my parents. I know Tito was very proud of the tree and one of the last things my dad said, as he left our house was, ‘That’s one heck of a tree. Now, if he could only do Mickey Mouse.’ We found that very humorous because, although my father is the one that got me into gaming, he doesn’t know a lot of video game characters. He passed away the next morning. Without getting too deep into the story, this should convey how special this tree is.”
