Who Found The Pickle Ornament



We started a Christmas tradition about 2 years ago (actually a German tradition). The story from Germany is they took a pickle and hid it in the Christmas tree. Whoever found the pickle would get an extra special gift for finding it. Well, since we're not going to use real pickles, my mom went to Germany in Epcot (the next best thing) and bought us a pickle orament. So we have been hiding it ever since. Now that the kids are a little bigger and understand more, they get a big kick out of it, and it turns into more of a competition. However, the gift that we buy is for everyone to play/use.
