Christmas pickle


I made this back in May and posted it on my DA but I wanted to wait until December to post it here

I'm just as confused as Germany

Anyway I found out about the Christmas Pickle that I guess is a tradition in the US and people thought it came from Germany because the ornaments were made in Germany idk

Icelandic place names may sound exotic, but they're usually not very creative. Example: The most powerful waterfall in Europe, Dettifoss, just means "falling falls"

I think one thing that you might want to change is make Ottawa's body a bit smaller

As an American, I'd never heard about this until earlier this year, and that was from a British guy on Youtube talking about this supposed 'American tradition'.

this is actually a thing in Germany, but only in a special part of it I know it from friends that live in Stuttgart. But here in Bavaria no one knows about it xD
