Christian meaning of Christmas decorations 🎄🎅🦌🌟🔔⛄ Christmas Pickle 🥒

While many of us did not grow up with the Christmas pickle as a symbol of Christmas in our homes, these unique ornaments have become increasingly commonplace.



And yet the origins of the pickle as a Christmas tree ornament remain up for debate.



The Christmas pickle tradition holds that, once the children are asleep, parents will hang a glass pickle on the tree. The first child to spot the pickle on Christmas morning gets to open a special present.





Some people think this odd tradition was passed down from Germany. Some believe a story about a Civil War soldier who was saved from starvation by a pickle. 



Others believe St. Nicholas once saved two boys from drowning in a pickle barrel
