Best Funny

Old World Christmas Ornaments Glistening Pickle

View On Amazon View On Walmart

It may seem funny to put a pickle on your Christmas tree—and it is—but the pickle ornament actually has quite an interesting history. According to the quirky custom, sometimes called Weihnachtsgurke, the first child to find the pickle Christmas ornament gets something special: the first present, an extra present, or the job of handing out the presents, plus good fortune in the coming year. This handmade version is extra special because the molten glass is mouth-blown into finely carved molds to give it a super realistic look.
