    It's a traditional "game"...the pickle is hidden in the tree by the parents and the child to find it first gets a special gift.  I'm pretty sure it originated using actual pickles.  why...I know not. :)

    Hmmm, I don't know exactly, though we have a Christmas pickle at our house.  I know it's a German thing and my mom would hide it in the Christmas tree and whoever found the pickle would get an extra present.  Don't know why a pickle though.

    I heard it was good luck to find the pickle in the tree first on Christmas day.
