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

here more info https://www.whychristmas.com/customs/christmaspickle.shtml

A myth in Germany states that "German almost became official language of the USA". Actually there was a petition on having the laws written in German beside English, which was rejected by 1 vote.

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
