In Germany, pickles are actually hung as decorations on Christmas trees. Yeah, they are the last decoration to be placed on the tree, and when the children first see the tree, it's like a game to see who can find the pickle first. The first one to find the pickle gets a special victory present from St. Nick himself.
Again, I didn't make it up. This one was from http://www.msichicago.org/scrapbook/scrapbook_exhibits/CATW2002/funfacts.html
Here's a picture of the pickle on the tree. (As you can see, it's not a real pickle.)
