Someone spiked the egg nog! <br /><br />Here's the pickle story - supposedly it's a German tradition that you hide a pickle ornament somewhere in your tree. The first person to find it on Christmas gets an extra present or good luck or something equally delightful. Fried pickles, perhaps? Funny though, I looked it up and apparently, Germans don't actually do this! So, who knows where it comes from!! <br /><br />http://german.about.com/library/blgermyth11.htm<br /><br />But, my pickle is tucked away...because tradition's tradition, right?Denisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14829796647372794836noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3018665060482261109.post-75500024211189585232011-12-19T00:53:54.115-05:002011-12-19T00:53:54.115-05:00Your tree looks great!

Katherine's been learning about Christmas traditions from around the world this year and she came home the other day talking about hiding a pickle in the tree for good luck. I'd never even heard about that tradition before, but now here you are doing it too. What's the story?<br /><br />And, of course, Merry Christmas! Thanks for inviting me to the party!Emilyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16644613647401437326noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3018665060482261109.post-49029831782874512102011-12-18T22:04:10.661-05:002011-12-18T22:04:10.661-05:00Awww, well that was my very first ever tree trimmi...Awww, well that was my very first ever tree trimming party and it was lovely!
