Product Description
In Old World Germany the last decoration placed on the Christmas Tree was always a pickle ... carefully hidden deep in the boughs. Legend has it that the observant child who found it on Christmas Day was blessed with a year of good fortune ... and a special gift.

The German Pickle is actually an American tradition. They do not hang a pickle on the Christmas Tree in Germany. Almost no one in Germany has even heard of it, those who have generally hear about it while vacationing in the States.

The Christmas Pickle
I bought this to replace a family pickle that got tossed with the tree. This one is cheap looking and not nearly as nice. The jar is strange and very heavy too. It won’t stay on the tree branches!

I got this for the neighbor. We have a pickle for our tree and I think that it is a great tradition to start. Although I like the pickle that we have for our tree better, I could not seem to find it. This was a cute substitute. I like that it comes stored in a jar, even though the jar itself was too heavy to hang on the tree (it comes with a string to do so). It makes a very nice gift.

I am deeply mystified about the so called German Christmas pickle tradition. I am from Germany and I have not heard of it. I have asked friends and family back in Germany but they have never heard of it, either. Checking German web sites I came across confused Germans who are living in America and wondering why friends keep giving them pickles for Christmas. I myself have gotten a few. I guess this itself now is a tradition.

My husband and I exchange ornaments every year. I got this one for him last year since he is part German, and it is definitely a fun addition to our tree. Very good quality, and a fun new tradition to start!
