Rudolph's Shiny New Year (w/ Craig Kringle)

Richard Parks

Here on Christmas Past, I dig in to the backstories behind Christmas traditions. But what happens when you can’t even verify that the thing you’re researching even is a tradition? That’s what happened when I started looking into the Christmas Pickle. You’ve probably seen pickle tree ornaments, or maybe seen posts about them in your social media feeds. The story goes that it’s an old German tradition. But…the more you dig in, the more you have to wonder. Well, luckily someone else has done the heavy lifting. A trained journalist, no less. Richard Parks III is the host of Richard’s famous food podcast. And last year he dedicated an episode to his investigation of the topic. So join me, Tim Babb from Can't Wait for Christmas and Craig Kringle from Weird Christmas as we explore, theorize, and generally goof around discussing the strange and mysterious phenomenon of the Christmas Pickle. Announcements  There’s still time to get tickets for Christmas Land in Los Angeles on December 15. Follow on Instagram @christmaslandexperience A Christmas in July convention is in the works for 2020 in Nashville…and I’ll be there!  Follow on Instagram @christmasinjulyconvention and on Twitter @AJulyChristmas If you leave a review I’ll send you a Christmas card containing a Christmas Past sticker. Write me at christmaspastpodcast@gmail.com for details.  Send your Christmas memory for the 2019 season. Record yourself on your phone’s voice recorder app and send it to christmaspastpodcast@gmail.com.  Music in this episode "Red City Theme" — Blue Dot Sessions, via Free Music Archive
