3″ HAND BLOWN GLASS PICKLE ORNAMENT

The Christmas tradition of hanging a pickle ornament on the Christmas tree is a quirky and fun way to add an extra touch of holiday cheer to your decorations. But where did this tradition come from and what does it symbolize? Here’s the history and meaning behind the Christmas pickle.

The origins of the Christmas pickle tradition are somewhat mysterious and there are several theories as to how it began. One of the most popular theories is that the tradition originated in Germany in the late 19th century. According to this story, a man named John Lower was imprisoned in Germany and was given a pickle as his only food. He was eventually freed and became a pickle maker, creating the first Christmas pickle ornament as a symbol of good luck and hope. Another theory is that the Christmas pickle is a symbol of good luck, with the tradition dating back to ancient times when pickles were believed to have special powers. In this interpretation, the pickle is seen as a symbol of hope, reminding people that even in the darkest of times, there is always a glimmer of light.

Regardless of its origins, the Christmas pickle has become a beloved holiday tradition for many families. The tradition usually involves hiding the pickle ornament somewhere on the Christmas tree and then having children search for it on Christmas morning. The first person to find the pickle is said to receive an extra present or good luck for the coming year.
