The story goes that the Christmas Pickle is a German tradition, but it's virtually unheard of in Germany... So we'll say it's an American tradition. But why put a pickle on your tree? Because you can! As the story goes the pickle was the last ornament placed on the Christmas Tree. On the day the gifts were opened the child that found the pickle ornament was given another special gift. Another version says that the adult who finds it will have wealth in the year to follow. That's good enough for me.
This fabric pickle is perfect to add to a primitive or country tree. It is about the size of a real dill pickle, about 5 inches long and about and inch wide. Each one is hand painted to resemble a real pickle with just a hint of green German glass glitter added to add a punch of sparkle. I've added a loop of jute for hanging. Be the first on your block to have a Primitive Christmas Pickle.
