I don't care if this Christmas Tradition is a "created for Americans only but supposedly originated in Germany" tradition. I think it is FABULOUS. I think it is FUN. Especially for the PICKLE FINDER!
Our Non-German family, barely American at that, has a different twist on the German Pickle... we leave the German Pickle out for Santa -- along with his cookies and milk. We ask that Santa hide the Pickle in the tree. (I believe the American version asks that a family member hide the pickle, but we thought it would be more fun if Santa did!)
So, Santa hides the pickle on our tree on Christmas Eve when he makes it to our house. When we awake in the morning, whoever finds the PICKLE FIRST on the tree receives an extra present. Santa has left a special package under the tree with a tag that reads "PICKLE PRESENT".
"HAPPY PICKLE HUNTING"!
ps I hope I find the pickle!!
