Glass Pickle Christmas Ornament Made in Germany

Beautiful glass pickle ornament made in Germany. New with tags. Ships from the Midwest. I have two of them if you are interested in the other one as well. I can combine shipping. The Pickle Legend appears to be just that, a legend. Allegedly, it is a German tradition in which parents hide a gherkin pickle ornament somewhere in the branches of the Christmas tree. The familys children are allowed to search for it, but their hands must be behind their backs and they cannot touch the tree or they will lose the special prize. The child who finds the pickle ornament gets a special present. This is a fun family tradition from yesteryear and something for the kids to look forward to every Christmas. The first adult who finds the pickle is said to have good luck the following year. But facts often ruin a good story, and there is little evidence this tradition was ever practiced in Germany. However, German glassblowers learned of it, and began producing handblown glass ornaments to match the story. Today, these glass makers produce thousands of pickles annually and sell them at international Christmas markets. So for some families, it has become a modern tradition. If nothing else, it is a great conversation piece for your holiday celebration.
