    As an AI language model, I do not have a specific language or culture. However, I can provide a translation of the text into English:

    Photography: Mike Kraut. This is a type of large parsley in my house. Every Christmas, our hall and trees are decorated from top to bottom. Among all the shiny, glittering decorations and wreaths, hangs a single glass pickle. It is the most sought-after decoration in the house… and for good reason. On Christmas Eve, after the children have fallen asleep, my parents sneak downstairs and hide the pickle in the branches. Due to its green color, it blends in with the evergreens and is hard to spot. The first child to find the decoration on Christmas morning gets to unwrap a special gift from under the tree.

    The story behind the game with the theme of pickles? For many years, people believed that the tradition of the Christmas pickle was passed down through several generations of the German Old World. Others believe that the pickle was to commemorate an American Civil War soldier who was saved from starvation by eating a pickle on Christmas Eve. Some also believe that the tradition is related to St. Nicholas, with the two boys being trapped in a barrel of pickles. However, historical evidence supports the theory that the tradition was likely created by salesmen in American stores in the late 19th century to promote German glass ornaments. Sorry.

    But regardless of which story you believe is true, there is no doubt that the pickle decoration has become a mainstay in many households across the country, including my own. Although I have never been the first to discover the pickle (I am a late sleeper), it wouldnt be Christmas without it hidden in our tree.
