One Caps fan made Braden Holtby her family’s tree topper

It’s Christmas Eve and our Twitter mentions (or menchies as Peter calls them) are starting to get into the holiday spirit. Such as reader Madeline who sent us this photo of her Christmas tree. Her family made Braden Holtby their tree topper.

“Some people use stars, some people use angels – we use both,” she wrote in an email to RMNB.

The family tied a Holtbeast figurine, a Caps giveaway item from last season, around their star. The figurine’s mondo arms are raised in the air to encourage the family members to come gather around the tree and worship it.

This reminds me of my favorite Braden Holtby related meme.
