its an irish yooper tradition too,but its sexier when a chick describes it so ill lurk

[LordJezo]

Ooo.. I have that pickle buried in my tree.

Grandparents who were first gen American from German parents used to do it so we have kept the tradition.

I never heard of this tradition, but my mom makes homemade pickels and gives them out at Christmas.

My mom plays hide the pickle. The kids or grand kid that finds it gets an extra gift.

yes, I will tell you that it is not a German tradition... because everybody I have asked from different regions in Germany had no clue about it.

The first time I heard about it was when I moved here.

I like the idea of it though... and I have a German friend who has made it a tradition after her inlaws gave her one for their first tree here.

personally I don't have one.

My family has been hiding the pickle in the tree for about 15 years now. I always used to be good at finding it, on Christmas morning, I spend some time examining the tree, looking near the trunk, because that's where the pickle is usually hidden. I now live with my love, and last year, my parents gave us a pickle to hide in our tree. Now we get to hide the pickle on our own.

My wife is part german so we have had that as a tradition. The kid that finds it gets an extra gift. My daughter always finds it
