Christmas Pickle Tradition:
What is the Christmas Pickle tradition?
It’s an ornament shaped like a pickle that families treat as a game. On Christmas Eve, parents hide the ornament deep on the tree branches. The tree’s pine needles camouflage the green pickle, making it especially hard to find.
On Christmas morning, the first kid to find the pickle is rewarded. Some families let the person who discovered the pickle open the first present. Others have a special gift that goes to the pickle-finder. It’s also believed that a special blessing or good luck will come to the one-who-finds-the-pickle in the coming
