Product Description
From the Holiday Traditions Collection
Item #82573
This jar has a lot of history behind it so here's the pickle "legend". 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.
Jar Dimensions: 3"H x 2.6" Diameter
Pickle Dimensions: 2.4"H x 1.25"W x 0.75"D
Material(s): Resin/Glass
Both the jar and pickle come ready-to-hang with a gold cord

on 2010-02-06I believe the company misrepresented the fact that this item was in stock when it wasn't. In fact I received an email saying the item was shipped, when in fact it had NOT been shipped. They did not have the item available to ship. When I called asking where the item was, the girl was not very pleasant nor helpful. I was extremely disappointed with this company!

on 2009-06-15I 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!

on 2009-03-07I 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.

on 2008-12-25I 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.

on 2008-11-30My 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!
