My grandma does it. It's really fun for the younger kids, even me! =]

Now we have our own pickle for our tree. =]

I've not heard of it before but it sounds like a fun tradition.

Yes, we do that.

My fiance is of German extraction, and told me about the Christmas pickle, so I had to get one!

We have one! I don't "hide" it, it is simply placed on the tree.

My mom and dad have two pickle ornaments. They are different - I bought one and my mom bought one when my youngest nieces (now 17) were little. The first couple of years we didn't really hide it, and one year we put big pink bows on them so the girls would spot them. I gave them little gifts - crayons, stickers, lip glosses, that sort of thing. It's no longer cool now that the girls are teenagers, but my best friend's niece just started walking on her own, so I bought one for her to start the tradition with her niece.
