The Christmas Pickle

The Christmas Pickle

The Christmas Pickle is a green, blown glass ornament shaped like a pickle. It is hidden among Christmas Tree decorations on Christmas Eve. Traditionally, the first child to find the pickle on Christmas morning receives an extra present and the first adult to find the pickle is granted good fortune for the year.

The Christmas Pickle is a German Christmas tradition.
