Favors help need everyones honest opinion!! PLEASE

My mother and I got the idea to use a pickle ornament for the favors....everyone that knows me knows I LOVE PICKLES !!

The tradition goes that the first child to find the Christmas pickle gets an extra gift from Saint Nicholas, or a year of good fortune.

The question I have is do you think alot of people will already own the christmas pickle?

I've actually never seen a pickle ornament before so I don't think a lot of people will have it.

I think its a great idea... given the fact that all of your guests celebrate Christmas. Maybe you could include a note as to the story of the Christmas pickle.

I hope this doesn't come out the wrong way but all I can picture is FH's friend steeasing him saying suggestively something like 'Nice pickle'



It is very cute though - I have never heard of that before and if you explain it in a little note, that would be nice.

If you have a big italian family, then chances are they have a pickle ornament already, bc I believe its an Italian tradition.

yeah its a german tradition..
In Old World Germany,
the last decoration
placed on the Christmas tree
was always a pickle... carefully
hidden deep in the boughs. Legend
has it that the observant child who found
it on Christmas Day was blessed with a year
of good fortune...
and a special gift!
