What a Pickle!
"Pickle ornaments were considered a special decoration by many families in Germany, where the fir tree was decorated on Christmas Eve. It was always the last ornament to be hung on the Christams tree, with the parents hiding it in the green boughs among ornaments. When the children were allowed to view the tree they would begin gleefully searching for the pickle ornament. The children knew that whoever first found that special ornament would receive an extra little gift from St. Nicholas for the most observant child!"
The above picture is the pickle ornament camouflaged among the branches on our very own tree. The boys haven't found it yet, but that's probably because they forget about things for days at a time and didn't even realize that we hung our new ornament on the tree after we got it in Epcot!
What kind of treat should Santa leave for the most observant child?
