3. The Christmas Pickle

The Christmas Pickle is definitely one of the oddest Christmas tradition. the Christmas pickle is an American tradition with unknown origins. It’s believed that the tradition originated in Germany, but this information is false. In fact, most German people don’t know what the Christmas pickle is. It’s more likely that the Christmas pickle was made as a marketing ploy to sell more glass Christmas ornaments. Either way, the tradition is still odd.

The Christmas pickle is a tradition in some households where members hide a glass pickle ornament in the tree. The person who finds it is granted luck and good fortune. The person that finds it may also be the first person to open gifts, or may even get an extra gift. The Christmas pickle tradition varies from house to house.
