It never fails, every year I stumble across "one of the oldest german christmas traditions", the Christkind secretly places the presents under the tree, lights the candles (usually real candles on a real tree) and rings a very high pitched tiny bell to let the children know it was there.
after research it seems that it was only dubbed a german tradition over time.
So there you have it, the Pickle.
Which can be found in my fridge. Sour and in a glass jar. :-D
p.s., since my digital is still dead I will have to wait until my Mom emails me the pictures of the GORGEOUS pointsettia tree in the Wiesbaden Kurhaus made of 2400 (or so) pointsettias - maybe tomorrow? I´ll be sure to post it!!

I fell for that marketing ploy our first year here. Of course, 10 years later I have yet to meet a German familiar with this "tradition." I have a pickle ornament on our tree though.
hey, I´ve been considering getting one for years now.. lol..
