The Christmas Pickle is a tradition related to the Christmas tree. In this tradition, a family decorates its Christmas tree with ornaments including one glass
pickle. On Christmas morning, the first child to find the pickle on the
tree would get a special gift and would supposedly have a year of good fortune.
This tradition has been commonly practiced among Americans with German immigrant ancestors but no one is exactly sure when the tradition began. It was a game that my husband always played on Christmas day as a child and our family has continued to do so as well.
