"The Christmas pickle is a Christmas tradition in the United States. A decoration in the shape of a pickle is hidden on a Christmas tree, with the finder receiving either a reward or good fortune for the following year. There are a number of different origin stories attributed to the tradition, but it was primarily thought to have originated in Germany. This has since been disproved and is now thought to be an American tradition from the late 19th century."

Christmas Quotes....
The Christmas season has come to mean the period when the public plays Santa Claus to the merchants. ~John Andrew Holmes

Once again, we come to the Holiday Season, a deeply religious time that each of us observes, in his own way, by going to the mall of his choice. ~Dave Barry, "Christmas Shopping: A Survivor's Guide"
I heard the bells on Christmas Day
Their old, familiar carols play,
And wild and sweet
The words repeat
Of peace on earth, good-will to men!
~Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
The message of Christmas is that the visible material world is bound to the invisible spiritual world. ~Author Unknown

Mankind is a great, an immense family. This is proved by what we feel in our hearts at Christmas. ~Pope John XXIII
