An original German Christmas Pickle
The Christmas Pickle is a tradition in which the family decorates a Christmas tree, placing a glass pickle ornament on the tree. 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 is said to come from Germany, but this is probably apocryphal. In fact, the tradition is widely unknown in Germany.
