It's actually a German tradition... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christmas_pickle , even though this is now saying it's American in origin, but my great-grandparents did it in German before escaping.
I'm pretty sure my family does as well. I have no idea how we came by it, though.
I'm pretty sure we got ours from my Dad's family...they give us the weirdest gifts. But I love them. I really do.
I never have heard of this German tradition.Your article also shows that it has been disproven to be an German tradition,but rather an American one.
I'm... going to do this. At least the whip thing, anyway. Where does one procure a whip?
any s&m shop will do.
Be careful when you walk about; you might step on somebody's fallen jaw.Bond party dress!!
I just need to get some sparkly jewelry, maybe some elbow length gloves and do some glam hair and makeup! I'm so excited!
I have one that I received as a promotional item when Kingdom of the Crystal Skull came out. They sent me one of every Indy movie poster (I keep Raiders on the wall here in my office) and an official indiana jones braided leather bullwhip.
Nice. Off to Texas to rob GB, then.
Haha, pretty much! I'm terrible at hiding any excitement.And you just can't hide it!
Looks great!
And thank you!You are too kind! Thanks North_Ranger!
You are welcome OC.
He's such a stud.
I admitted the article says it's American in origin, but I got the tradition from my Grandparents, native Germans, who did it as tradition before WWII and their subsequent "forced" immigration to the USA. So, could just be that certain areas, or groups, did it. I don't know, I just know where I got the tradition from, and where they said it came from.
yeah apparently kags is ridiculously pretty without any help, which means everyone will be dragging their jaws on the floor when she is all done.
Pfft. Rock climbing, cars and reading. AND HALFORUMS, DAMMIT
