The Star.
The star symbolizes the star that appeared, quite miraculously, in the eastern sky on the birth of Jesus Christ. The star is believed to have guided shepherds and the magi, who were the three wise men from the East, to the newborn king. One wonders whether the star that shined that night was any different from those of today. The star was indeed a strange star and people continue to believe that a miracle occurred at the birth of Christ. Select this link to view our Gold and Cream Ornaments.

The Legendary Pickle.
A pickle used as decoration on the Christmas tree seems odd at first, but it is an old German tradition. When decorating the Christmas tree, it is traditional to hang the pickle last, hidden among the twigs. The first child on Christmas Eve to find the Christmas pickle receives an extra gift!

The Inge Glas Legend of the Pickle.
Long ago in Germany, the famous pickle legend came to be, a fun game for the entire family.
No one knows who, what or why, but it’s a Christmas tradition to be enjoyed even by the most shy.
Hidden in the branches of every Christmas tree, children of all ages hunt for the pickle in green.
The younger the child the bigger the pickle is, as we grow, the pickle size gets smaller and presents big challenges.
Hunt for it, search for it, but your hands must be behind, and do not touch the tree, or you’ll lose the prize in mind.
If you find that hidden gurken, you are the lucky one indeed, as there’s a special present waiting for you, the winner of the green.
If you were not the lucky winner, do not shed a tear, as the search for the hidden green pickle, comes once again, next year. Select this link to view our Gold Ornament and Red Christmas Ornaments.
