For the longest time growing up, I would ask - why is there a stupid pickle on our tree? <br /><br />Also, my grandmother always had the elf (like the elf on a shelf thing) with a similar story, although not involving Santa, as well.Michellenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6522421818066388994.post-38740849650511884812012-01-12T17:03:55.723-08:002012-01-12T17:03:55.723-08:00I LOVE that you followed up on this!

We were ...Hi Sonja, Here's my follow-up story. We were at Disney over the holidays and went to the World Showcase at Epcot. In Germany there was an entire tree covered with pickle ornaments and a little sign on the tree describing this German tradition. We then popped into the shop next door for Emma to get her passport stamped so I asked the two young German people working there if it was really a German tradition. They told me they didn't know anyone in Germany who hangs a pickle on their tree but for some reason Americans like to think that it's a German tradition!Lisahttp://www.gonewiththefamily.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6522421818066388994.post-1436010249667450462011-12-23T14:27:29.240-08:002011-12-23T14:27:29.240-08:00I had always heard the same thing that pickle is G...I had always heard the same thing that pickle is German tradition but my sister spent Christmas in Germany last year and couldn't find one to bring home!

I won the pickle ornament but found the German tradition story a bit dubious - glad to have that confirmed. Not sure that I'll bother hanging it on our tree. Merry Christmas!!Lisahttp://www.gonewiththefamily.comnoreply@blogger.com
