So it is about that time of year again but this year will be alittle different. You won't be driving to the same area over and over, and you you won't learn anything from movies. After bouncing back and forth about how I was going to play it this year. But then I look at the clock and decided to give Traditional for every day, so it took me to "Traditions". This year I will be the one giving you some stories and holiday information about traditions we have grown to love and adore.
The tradition of the Christmas Pickle has got to be one of the strangest modern Christmas customs in that no one is quite sure why it exists at all! In the 1880s Woolworth stores started selling glass ornaments imported from Germany and some were in the shape of various fruit and vegetables. It seems that pickles must have been among the selection! Around the same time it was claimed that the Christmas Pickle was a very old German tradition and that the pickle was the last ornament hung on the Christmas tree and then the first child to find the pickle got an extra present. However, this seems to be a total myth! Not many people in Germany have even heard of the Christmas Pickle!
