A pickle used as an ornament on the Christmas tree seems odd at first, but this is an old German tradition. When decorating the Christmas tree, it was a practice to hang the pickle ornament last, hidden among the twigs. The first child on Christmas Eve to find the Christmas pickle ornament would receive an extra gift. Not quite as large as "The Legendary Pickle" ornament, this middle sized pickle ornament is a tougher find on the tree for older children. Made in Germany by Inge-glas ® 2-3/4 inches - 7,0 cm
