I vaguely remember having a “Christmas
Pickles” on our tree. At least I think I
do. I don’t even know where it came from or why it was there. We obviously didn’t know its tradition as it
was never hidden. Tradition says the
pickle is “hidden” to bring good luck to the finder. We never hid the pickle.
I don’t remember hiding any ornaments
intentionally. Many times the fuller
trees seemed to swallow up ornaments that had been pushed into the tree which
is why I prefer Charlie Brown trees.
Every ornament can be seen on a Charlie Brown tree and none get lost. There
is speculation about the Christmas pickle – or legends. Lost truths. Invented stories perhaps. It’s kind of a fun idea. A little bizarre. I mean a pickle? Not an item I have
associated with Christmas. But I am all
for welcoming other cultures and traditions to cross my path. I enjoy the diversity.
