The Christmas Pickle
Nothing reminds me of my German childhood like the traditional Christmas pickle. When decorating the tree on Christmas Eve, my "mutti und vatti" would hide a pickle somewhere on the tree. If either my sister or I found the pickle on Christmas morn, then St. Nikolaus would give us a special present of either Pfeffernussen or Weinachtgeld. This Christmas morn, both my daughers will be looking for the Christmas pickle under our tree. Oh, those joyous ethnic Christmases.
