Pickle-tickle


Has anyone else ever heard of this? Apparently, you hide a pickle ornament somewhere on the Christmas tree and it's good luck for the person who finds it.

Who the hell thought up the idea of a "Christmas Pickle?" Would a pickle chip count? Does Hannukah get a gherkin or what?

Either way I feel obligated to do it this year, if for no other reason than to be able to say, "I put my pickle in your tree."

I still say it's lame that they don't use a real pickle.

I suppose there's nothing wrong with a Christmas version of that age old game of "hide the pickle"...

...or is that salami?

Lisa: Well, I have always heard that nothing replaces the real thing ... but of course, now you know I'm going to tell everyone you smell like pickles.

Fred: That's why it's called the season of giving! Sometimes twice! But don't be silly - we all know "hide the salami" is Easter.

I know that some people have strong reactions to Arlo Guthrie songs, but I think "ick" is a bit TOO strong, it is an innocent enough little ditty, I mean seriously...you're the one that brought all this pickle hiding up in the first place, don't whip out your pickle if you can't handle someone taking a bite out buddy...
