There is a Christmas pickle it's an ornament on the tree and the first kid to find the pickle gets to open his present first

[@abigailrenee4653]

Michael Albin I thought it was the kid who found it got an extra present

[@HaSchi310]

It depends on the family really, some say they get an extra present, some that they can open the first present but some also say they will have good luck for the next year xx

[@CoolLikeNerimon]

The way my family did it, is the kid got an extra gift.

[@alexandrawalborn8812]

Michael Albin I thought it was whichever kid finds the Christmas pickle (hidden somewhere in/on the tree) gets an extra present..? That what we did when I was a kid, except our pickle was an ornament. (Literally, it was a shiny pickle ornament)

[@stellas.5680]

It has German roots

[@Pearl127]

I love Katherine!

[@Xenolilly]

It is always nice to see the Katherine. I saw her once at Nerdcon stories. I respected her space and didn't go up to her, but in my head I was like "It is she!"

[@theoriginaledi]

You have more restraint than I do. I met her a couple years ago at one of Hank's shows. I felt kind of bad for bothering her but I'd wanted to meet her for nearly a decade (I'd known Hank for some time but had never had a chance to meet her) so I couldn't stand it. I approached her, had a short conversation with her, and then left her alone, but I've never quite known whether I did the right thing or not. =\ I have to admit, though, I'm really glad I had the opportunity to talk to her at least once. I think she's fantastic.

[@Xenolilly]

I definitely wanted to talk to her but she didn't seem to be in the mood to meet fans. It is so cool that you got to talk to her! She seems awesome.

[@angelcollina]

I once sat next to her at NerdCon Stories. I said hi to her, but I am afraid I disturbed her and I continue to be very sorry. :/ She is a lovely person and has always been an inspiration.

[@Xenolilly]

She is indeed lovely. :)

[@omarabdelkadereldarir7458]

@@angelcollina I don't think you should feel sorry for saying hi to someone:/

[@Benspi]

I like it when Katherine joins in on your vids Hank, she looks like a fun person. Plus she has a really awesome sweater in this one :D

[@SnowDogsVlogs]

Happy Christmas! The Christmas Pickle is an ornament you hide on the tree! First person to find it opens a gift or gets a special gift, depending on what the family does. That is the more modern tradition of it anyway.

[@daintykinz1895]

I would love to see more videos of you and Katherine. You both are so sweet together, it makes my day.

[@rachelelizabeth6017]

We have a Christmas Pickle ornament that our parents hide somewhere on the tree on Christmas Eve. The next morning the person who finds it gets to open the first present! 😄🎄🎁😄🎄🎁

[@elizabethneisen6457]

Yeah we do this too except there is a separate present for whoever finds the pickle

[@dezaraefreise6499]

We have a Christmas pickle too!!! We hide it when we put the tree up and i was super proud to be the first one to find it this year!!!

[@rachelelizabeth6017]

LiteratureSim haha!! Yeah, oops! I’ll fix that! 😂😂😂

[@rachelelizabeth6017]

Dezarae Freise I found it the first year we did it! I was super excited! 😄😂😄

[@KellyCrafty]

I never heard about until I moved to a state with a strong German/Slovak/eastern European history, so I think it has roots from there.

[@OnTheNerdySide]

Love seeing Katherine! And great shoutout to Emmet Otter, a grand Christmas tradition of mine.

[@myfamilyiscrazy]

Emmet Otter is my favorite Christmas special! 😃

[@theoriginaledi]

Oh my gosh, I LOOOOOOOOVE Emmet Otter's Jug Band Christmas! I've always known Katherine was awesome but this just moved her up several more notches!

[@pdpocket2599]

this was just delightful. if you & Katherine wanted to do a podcast or something, i’d be your first subscriber.

[@vlogbrothers]

We'll let you know :-)

[@Nhoj31neirbo47]

vlogbrothers - Excellent suggestion. I’d sub.

[@akshatdubey7904]

well lookie here

[@hihelloheysupbye]

From what I know, there are some people who have a pickle decoration on the tree and the game is to find the pickle. Not something our family did but I know of it.

[@cameronkeenan4268]

Yeah and who ever finds the pickle first gets to open the first present

[@hawkrocker]

As others have said the Christmas pickle is a thing. It is a German tradition of hiding a pickle ornament and whoever found it got an extra gift. A fun story about Christmas pickles is that about 8 years ago my sister and her doctor ended up talking about that his wife collected Christmas pickles, so my sister found a carved and hand painted wood pickle ornament and took it to her doctor's office. He cried after she gave it to him and told her it was one of the most thoughtful gifts anyone, let alone a patient had given him.

[@fafakyu]

Katherine Is the best she should have her own channel

[@LauraLumos]

I agree

[@hrishabh]

Katherine's sweater is sweater goals😍😍

[@scottywan82]

My mother always describes Christmas as 10 weeks of shopping, 10 hours of wrapping, and 10 minutes of opening. 😂

[@Volcfom]

The Christmas Pickle is German. Every year a pickle ornament is hidden on the tree and the first person to find it is supposed to have good luck in the new year. Some families give a prize to whomever finds it.

[@niffler09]

Except in Germany nobody does that haha

[@Volcfom]

niffler09 well it's German-American (Pennsylvanian Dutch). My Grandfather is PA Dutch and that side of the family does it. I have one on my tree right now!

[@jpfd-2315]

She said this is a once a year thing...oh boy...the internet just might hold her to that. Prepare yourself Hank for this time next year for all the people asking if she will be joining you again. This may very well become a thing.

[@meghan879]

We have fruitcakes around the holidays because before refrigeration, cakes didn't keep very long. One cake that did last though, was the fruitcake. So people would have fruitcakes because they could be prepared beforehand. It was also more affordable-ish to make. They would also ice fruitcakes with this really heavy icing that helped preserve the fruitcake.

[@xcharlez4003]

first, I was literally exactly halfway the video when noticing Katherine her sweater. (good Harry Potter) second, the tree is because of the Germanic tradition of liking trees and thinking their gods spoke through them and when converting to Christianity they were like "yo okay we will celebrate this thing but it falls with our thingy about light so we want to keep the tree and lights" and then the Christian people were like "oh hell no" but accepted it and now it's a thing for almost everyone. Let's all give a big hurray for what we learn in history in the Netherlands (for the pickle, I don't know. never heard of it to be honest)

That clip of kids yelling GG was something I didn't know I needed.

[@craftgrrl14]

It's from a Chris Flemming video called "GiGi the Christmas Snake"

[@azurebreezes]

Dear Hank and Katherine, Hanging the Christmas Tree upside down is a Polish Tradition! My Great Grandma Christine who was almost a hundred years old said we are Polish through the Teschetter family line. I have also seen the upside down Polish Christmas Tree at the Old Milwaukee exhibit at the Milwaukee Public Museum in downtown Milwaukee!

[@juststeveschannel]

How did I miss this till now? Merry Christmas...eventually, again, everyone!

[@marieprice7740]

It's a tradition in my family to put a pickle on the tree, and when younger family members come over, they look for it. The first one to find it typically gets a prize (usually a regifted thing). At least in my family, it's a way to keep the kids entertained through the duration of the evening.

[@quotoligest1769]

Catherine, thank you for joining us! It is lovely to see you and I’d like to just say your sweater has made my day. It is classy while still being unapologetically Harry Potter. :-D Happy Christmas if that’s your thing,🎄, but regardless, I hope everyone in nerfiteria has a nice weekend and a lovely new year!

[@ChibiakuX]

KATHERINE!!!!!!! we love her, and respect her desire to not be on the channel often, but LLOOOOOOVE!

[@KaijaSchmauss]

Katherine referencing Chris Flemming made me smile, not gonna lie. Gigi is right next to the Gayle series as the best thing he's ever made.

[@thewinterizzy]

“Aaaaanytime. Not really. This is a once-a-year thing.” I appreciate Katherine’s honesty lmfao.

[@lilliandurr208]

The christmas pickle is an ornament that the parents hide (of a pickle) and the child who finds it gets a special smaller gift or piece of candy for finding it.

[@freezerburn4]

Emmet Otter's Jugband Christmas. Love that special, have since I was a child.

[@hallieeramos]

I could watch an hour of Hank and Katherine tbh ^_^ You two are so adorable!

[@alexspacesout8251]

I have no idea what's up with the pickle but my family lost ours last year so instead we hang up the empty jar in which Mr. Pickle used to preside. He will be missed. (fyi it wasn't a real pickle, it was ceramic)

[@seaborgium919]

Decorating the house in Evergreen is a pagan thing. It was to bless the house to make it through winter like Evergreens do. So you were almost right, "we need some green up in here" (Also, bake cookies for last minute christmas gifts. Or make hot chocolate mixes)

[@shinydeamon]

I totally thought it was bc they brought the animals in for heat and the trees were there to freshen the odor.

[@k1tkat-kate]

This is the best Christmas video, just by virtue of Katherine being in it.

[@cassandrasiegfried3068]

The pickle is a German thing. You two are adorable. I love how creatively silly you can be with one another. Very much like my hubby and I. Merry Christmas you two!

[@BelaCurcio]

oh my god I had totally forgotten about the pickle!! Me and my family did that, you have to find it hidden in the branches

[@canids]

In New Zealand most of us go down to the beach and bbq Christmas day.

[@ShirinRose]

Australia does much the same as New Zealand :) And Christmas jumpers pretty much aren't a thing down here

[@LauraLumos]

That sounds awesome

[@posthumorously]

Katherine is so cute. Every time I see you guys together, I'm always struck like, "Wow, these two go together so well. They're like matching bookends or something!" Apparently Christmas pickles are a thing from the US where you're supposed to hide them in the tree (they're ornaments) and whoever finds them wins? And people claim it came from Germany, but they didn't. Thanks to my husband for looking it up while I was watching this.

[@colormeorchid]

I LOVE EMMET OTTER!! It’s my favorite holiday movie.

[@JessicaRipleyMBA]

So excited for a video with Katherine!

[@donnaokane502]

Thanks Katherine!!!

[@amethyst1826]

My grandad used to pick a small branch from a holly tree, and that would be their Christmas tree that they would decorate. My mum loved this, and I think it's also a lovely idea!!

[@childoferskine]

Seeing the Katherine makes me happier than anything.

[@annariordan2801]

The pickle in the Christmas tree is an old German tradition. One person usually hides the pickle in the tree once it's decorated, and the first person to find it gets to open a present first.

[@quinnwestern]

It actually most likely originates from the Midwest and a common misconception that it's from Germany. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christmas_pickle

[@annariordan2801]

I just looked it up, I had no idea! One of my great-grandparents came to America off the boat from Germany and always did the pickle ornament with my family, but we were never told it wasn't a German tradition!

[@quinnwestern]

I just learned a couple of weeks ago that it's actually from here and have been telling every body. Lol. Super interesting! My boyfriend's family (in Ohio) are German descendants and have always had the tradition as well.

[@NoorAnomaly]

In Norway we have the almond in the porridge instead. The one to find the almond is thought to get good fortune.

[@Cluisanna]

I've never heard of that and I'm German, but who knows.

Original pickle tradition is German, and still done in Pennsylvania.. the child who found the pickle got to eat it. People forget Christmas was once one of the only times of the year when many varieties of food were fresh and readily available. The pickle was a treat.

[@Unknown-md6me]

Katherine's Harry Potter sweater gives me life❤️ Merry Christmas!

Merry (or happy) Christmas, Hank and Katherine! As well as John and the Yeti.

[@andybearchan]

In olden times, fruit cake was a treat! Full of nuts and dried plums butter and barley. Left in some booze to preserve it. A gift of a fruitcake was the hight of kindness.

[@CharisSunny]

AHHHHHHHHH THE KATHERINE!!! DO we get The Yeti for New Years?!

If only it worked like that. That would be amazing

I love the way you two crack each other up! Very Merry Christmas to you all!!

[@carolineschlaufman4065]

The pickle is a German tradition. It is a bright green ornament that looks like a pickle. It gets hidden in the branches of the Christmas tree then the kids search for it. Whoever finds it receives a gift. My family and I have done it for over twenty years. It’s a favorite holiday tradition 😃

[@j.a.snyder7416]

[@Christina-xv7ml]

TO EVERYBODY TALKING ABOUT THE CHRISTMAS PICKLE THING: I'm german and I've never heard of that!!!

[@GnpHiker]

Me to. I never heard about the pickle thing till I was an adult and found the Christmas pickle at Barnes and Noble.

[@quinnwestern]

Yes! It's actually an American tradition, but for some reason turned into an accepted belief that it's from Germany. Most Germans have actually never heard of it: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christmas_pickle

[@hehehepssst]

Same

[@nerdyandawesome]

Christina + me neither

[@macncheesetv9816]

Actually here in California, at most it’s rainy on Christmas. We still wear sweaters, but are just dying of heat

[@christaberry2694]

To be fair, there are lots of different ecosystems in California. Sometimes it snows around Christmas in the mountains. Where I live, it doesn't snow, but it generally is cold enough to comfortably wear sweaters.

[@TheAMWriter]

I love Katherine's sweater. I didn't know they made Harry Potter Christmas sweaters....That's great. There is indeed a Christmas Pickle, in my family one person hides it on the Christmas tree, and on Christmas day everyone but the person who hides it looks for it, and whoever finds it gets a small yummy treat. It is fun.

[@KathyDubs]

For anyone interested, there's a new book called Christmas: A Biography by Judith Flanders. I just got it from the library a few days ago, so I'm not done reading it yet but I'm about 100 or so pages in and she goes through a comprehensive history of Christmas and where all these traditions came from and how they changed across the world. Some of what Hank and Katherine said was right...some wasn't, haha. But that's why this book is so informative! If you love Christmas or just want to know more, I highly recommend it!

[@melissakaplan4253]

Katherine made a Chris Fleming reference im living

[@berglettemom6045]

“I’m better!” This video was joyful! Seeing the two of you together, I think you are even more in love now than you were a few years ago. Parenthood clearly agrees with you. Merry Christmas, Hank, Katherine, and Orin!

[@Cluisanna]

I love going home for Christmas because my parents always get a real Christmas tree with real candles on it, too. It's beautiful.

[@alittleunimpressed]

katherine’s voice is actually my favorite thing

[@sofiapalmisano2708]

No, no the pickle is a real thing!! My friend's parents hide it on the tree and then whichever kid finds it first gets to open presents first!! At least that's what they do I don't know if other people do that, my family doesn't

[@GnpHiker]

Christmas Pickle - I got one at Barnes and Noble. Its a pickle ornament you put on the tree and then have a contest to see who can find the pickle. Its harder than you expect because pickles are green and so are trees.

[@janathecookie]

As a German who has worked at Epcot (where there is a whole store selling just Christmas ornaments, including pickles, which are supposed to be a German tradition, though most Germans have never heard of it) I have had a soooo many conversations about what the deal is with the pickle! I eventually ended up writing a fairytale-like story to explain where this supposed tradition might have come from, because nobody knows and it's just so absurd :D

[@thekylemarshall_]

One Christmas all I had to eat was a single pickle. It should have only lasted me one meal, but instead it lasted for three whole days. Henceforth the Legend of the Christmas Pickle was born. Yeah, I don't know what the Christmas Pickle is. But feel free to add to the story!

[@rexdaneal6497]

You know Chrismas is one day, right? -Rex

[@CapsPage]

Once, I was home alone on Christmas Eve. Feeling a bit listless, I wandered to the fridge to try to fill the lonely hole inside me with food. When I opened the door, the only thing inside was a single pickle. "Where did this pickle come from?" I thought to myself. "I don't even like pickles. I know I didn't buy it. Why is there a single, unjarred, slimy pickle sitting in my refrigerator?" I looked around to make sure I was truly alone. I reached out to poke the pickle and make sure I wasn't hallucinating. When my finger touched its wet skin, the pickle came to life! "Hi!" it said. "I'm the Christmas Pickle! I've come to spread joy and holiday spirit to those in need of cheer!" What a wonderful night we had! We watched Pottersville on Netflix because Love Actually wasn't available. We wrapped last-minute presents, sang holiday songs, enjoyed hot cocoa (a mug of it makes a lovely hot tub for the Christmas Pickle), and even went on a short sledding excursion in the backyard! (This was much more exciting for the Christmas Pickle than it was for me. There aren't actually any hills back there, just snowdrifts that built up from shoveling the driveway.) As it neared midnight, the Christmas Pickle asked me to return it to the fridge. "It is time for me to move along, and time for you to get some sleep!" it said. "Remember that I am never truly gone from you. I'll always be in your heart!" I shed a tear as I closed the door to the fridge, knowing I was truly honored to have received a visit from the famous and mysterious Christmas Pickle. I know now that it is my sacred duty to spread as much holiday cheer as I can every year, in memory of the strange, jolly food that started it all.

[@thekylemarshall_]

Epic. I love it. 😀

I love the style of cut aways you used hank and it's always nice to see you and Katherine together

[@secretaltruism4174]

Boxing Day comes from live-in servants in wealthy houses, who would have to serve their household during Christmas Day. So they were given a box to take home with Christmas food leftovers and maybe presents to spend the day with their family. It also has links to Roman Gods and agriculture.

[@CityBeautiful]

I have to agree with Katherine -- It's a Wonderful Life is kind of a bummer. Elf all the way!

[@aaronf4841]

Did you stay for the ending?

[@robert.sec2]

Yeah, a movie about how any person can radically change the world for the better and any one who's kind has a life filled with riches is a bummer.

[@theheroofkvatch8370]

[@JoshJepson]

The mic was fighting for screen time. 😂

[@lachlansmart2373]

In Australia, we enjoy prawns (shrimp) and leafy greens alongside your typical fare at the Christmas dinner table. Some of us enjoy visiting the beach on Christmas day. Other than that, and the fact that most families will have their air conditioner on full ball the whole day, it's very similar to your Christmas.

[@PogieJoe]

I love the Jugband Christmas! So underrated. So sweet. Also I never thought I'd live to see Vlogbrothers shout out Chris Fleming. Magical.

[@Nhoj31neirbo47]

Refrigerator = The Frig = The Icebox. (The latter was what my family called it when I was a kid even though we had electronic refrigeration.)

[@TheJemmaGrl]

My mom calls it "The Icebox" as well - and I attribute this difference to the same reason why some people call it Soda/Coke/Pop - regions! My Mom was born and raised on the West Coast...

[@PDComicBookNetwork]

This elderly couple that used to babysit me thousands of years ago used to call it the "Kelvinator", which was an old name brand, but not the brand they actually had as I recall.

[@LauraLumos]

I always thought an icebox was a freezer or cooler.

[@Nhoj31neirbo47]

Laura Lumos - An Ice Box usually refers to a type of refrigeration that was common, at least in the U.S. and Northern Europe, before electric powered refrigeration. Huge amounts of ice would be harvested by cutting it out of frozen lakes and rivers in the winter time. It would be transported to ‘ice houses’, i.e. warehouses, for storage. From their It was distributed over the year to homes and businesses. People had insulated ‘ice boxes’ , i.e., refrigerators in their home in which the ice was used to keep food cold.

[@KillsAllHumanity]

Katherine!!

[@summerwillows4655]

We do the Christmas pickle! It's a German tradition. My mom hides a pickle ornament in the tree on Christmas eve and then the next morning whoever the first person is to find the pickle gets to open the first present. It's fun. I'm not sure if everyone does the Christmas pickle the same, but that's what my family does--we also just like hiding and looking for things....die hard Easter fans.

[@29Bodhisattva]

For those of you who are curious, Katherine's sweater is limited edition merchandise for the wizard rock band, Harry and the Potters. It was sold in 2015 and is no longer available to buy but you can find their music and merch at the DFTBA website :)

[@GameofKnowing]

Merry Christmas, Hank, Kathryn, and Nerdfighteria! That tree is very cute

[@Krispi-Kat]

The Christmas pickle is a Christmas tradition for some people in the United States and Canada. A decoration in the shape of a pickle is hidden on a Christmas tree, with the finder receiving either a reward or good fortune for the following year.

[@Kat-mm2yt]

OHMYGOSH my family watches Emmet Otter’s Jugband Christmas every year on Thanksgiving Night to start off the Christmas season!!! It’s so good and no one knows about it!
