Christmas Pickle Tradition

A fun family tradition

to play with children 

and grandchildren. 

2017~ Mathieu found it. The tuque is his gift

A glass pickle is hidden in 

the branches of a 

decorated Christmas tree.

On Christmas morning, the child

 who finds the pickle, receives an extra

 gift and good fortune for the following year.

I usually spend Christmas with

 my daughter or son's
family and grandkids,

and we have fun with this

pickle tradition.

Our first pickle and the first time

 we were aware of this tradition,

 we bought our pickle at 

"the late and great" Pier One Imports.

 

Sadly these store have closed up.

These pickles are available at

 Canadian Tire Store, 

Target, Walmart, etc.

 2011- Mathieu hunting for the pickle

Sabrina searched  also.

 

 Mathieu found it.

The tuque on his head 

was the prize he got

"The Pickle Tree"

I took this pic below, 

at Disney World Florida -  German Store

Glass pickles are sold there also.

It's claimed that this tradition

 originated in Germany.

F.W. Woolworth Co. was the first

 store to import this type of decorations.

Wow! look at all those pickles!!

2016- Sabrina found it!
