Tucked amid traditional ornaments on many holiday trees is a peculiar sight: a glass pickle. While some people believe its origin is German, most Germans are unfamiliar with it.
The custom? Hide the pickle ornament on the tree, and the first person to find it on Christmas morning gets good luck or even an extra gift. The tradition's origin is debated. Was it a marketing scheme or maybe a nod to old legends?
Regardless, this quirky custom has cemented its place in holiday lore.
