Best Answer

There are a couple of stories. The most common is that an evil inn keeper stuffed a couple of boys in a pickle barrel. Santa found them and freed them with his magical staff. To celebrate the boys being saved, families hang a glass pickle on the tree. The pickle, being the same color as the tree is hard to find. The first child to find the pickle gets an extra gift from Santa.
