Product Description
A very old Christmas eve tradition in Germany was to hide a pickle [ornament] deep in the branches of the family Christmas Tree. The parents hung the pickle last after all the other ornaments were in place. In the morning they knew the most observant child would receive an extra gift from St. Nicholas. The first adult who finds the pickle traditionally gets good luck for the whole year.

Great Gift,

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.

Just plain fun family tradition,

Our youngest daughter is 21 and moved out of the house and out of state just this past summer. Today she texted me and asked if I would send her Christmas stocking and a glass pickle - she is homesick and wanted to share the tradition with her roommate. It was fun for me but it was so cool to know my kid cared.

A real German tradition,

My mother-in-law is a German immigrant and has spoken fondly of this tradition from her childhood. Quite a clever way of expanding the fun.
