\"Christmas<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

It\u2019s been a long time since I\u2019ve had a free pattern to giveaway. But my kids wanted to try the pickle tradition this year, so I decided to whip one up!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Christmas<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Have you heard of this pickle tradition? There is a pickle ornament hidden amongst the ornaments on the Christmas tree, and whoever finds it, gets an extra gift.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Apparently there\u2019s a pretty big dispute over the orgins of the Christmas Pickle. I always heard that it was a German tradition, and sometimes I\u2019ve heard a story about St. Nicolas saving some boys who were trapped in a pickle barrel. There\u2019s also another story about an American Civil War soldier who was saved from starvation with a pickle. But possibly, the whole story was made up by salesmen in Germany, trying to sell glass ornaments<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n

In any case, we\u2019ve decided to give it a try this year. So I created this simple, but pretty cute and folksy pickle pattern. It\u2019s a complete pattern with diagrams, instructions, and pattern pieces to print on freezer paper. Download the pattern below and give it a try!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Also, I\u2019d love to hear from some of my German fans- is this a tradition in Germany?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
