tradition within my family, I have heard that there
was a custom of hiding a glass pickle on the Christmas tree and on Christmas
Day (I think) the children were challenged to find it. Does anyone on this
list have the Christmas pickle tradition in their family?
We did not have the tradition, but started it. Our kids are older and still
enjoy it. The one who first finds it should get a small prize, reward like a
candy bar. The stores in central Illinois now sell pickle ornaments.
