Transforms them into nobodys guts and. The delicious christmas make you tradition in germany and you. Do you have i me clue what this is well maybe people from the United States knows this is a christmas pickle Many Americans follow this german tradition of hiding seeing a pickle in the Christmas Tree whoever finds it gets an extra gift theres just one problem most germans have never heard about this custom you know might support the haiti rawlinson sets off to solve this riddle of the christmas because. Yes the christmas pickle a beloved in time honored german tradition at least thats what i was told. But im in berlin germanys Biggest Department store and i cant find a single one of these Christmas Trees. Over picoult luckily i brought my own. But let me back up where i come from. Many people think that all germans hang a single pickle on their Christmas TreeMany American families follow this socalled german tradition so according to this tradition the 1st person to find the christmas pickle on the Christmas Tree gets an extra. But to be honest i havent seen or heard of a single christmas pickle in germany since ive lived here so im going to ask some germans during their Christmas Shopping if theyve heard of it. Are you having a christmas pickle on your Christmas Tree this year. That must be a tradition elsewhere its not a german. Christmas. Cumbers not my favorite. Christmas. No christmas because. I even had to explain it to santa in germany in fact 12006 team survey found that 91 percent of germans had never heard of it. So at this tradition is in german where does it come from and how did it end up in the United States. With a Little Christmas magic im headed to the small german mountain villages. To explore that a bit more. If anyone knows the origin of a particular glass ornament its the people of laos theyve been blowing glass here since 5097 and producing ornaments since the mid 19th century. Last Laura Michelle happened and is the 4th generation to take over his family Christmas Ornament business. He hand makes and sells glass ornaments including the christmas pickle to buyers worldwide. I. But actually he only learned about the tradition in recent years on a visit to california. I was asked also you also make christmas pickles and i just laughed but then someone else asked me the same question and then a 3rd and i started wondering what is it with these christmas pickles and then someone explained that its tradition in germany its on a pickle on your Christmas Tree and that every american knows this i think oddly nobody in germany does handle it. That made him curious so he came home to search through his grandfathers glass molds from the 1930. Days of my found his gherkin old since then weve been producing these glass pickles. Now he sells pickle ornaments to customers in places like japan norway switzerland and of course the United States. But if you just learned about this tradition then where did the story start well there are a handful of legends surrounding the origin of the christmas pickle. One says that a prison guard took pity on a starving german born soldier during the American Civil War and allowed him to eat a single pickle with this act of kindness he was able to survive and began hanging a pickle on the street each year. Some say it was this man frank w. Woolworth who needed a gimmick when he began importing ornaments from germany to the us in 880 s. But maybe i need to ask someone who knows this Christmas Town the best so im eating laotian mayor nor but this man at las 5 class with 10853 this is the oldest still existing glass in town mr mayor do you know the tradition of the christmas pickle as its or am i not we were confused is the christmas pickle whats the point thats what we learned both abroad people are convinced the christmas pickle is an essential german christmas item. If they personally i think some clever marketing guy invented this. But since then no shit has been making glass pickles simply because foreigners believe its a local specialty of. Ok so i still dont have an exact answer but there might still be hope im going to talk to gary a local who came across the pickle tradition in his research for a magazine im now sure glad. So what can you tell us about the history of the christmas pickle help before i did some research and found out that some families had a tradition of giving the person who found the. Special Christmas Tree decoration on the tree the 1st or largest gifts on the screws to others as they get something on the dot so the christmas pickle story originated by not square. So we leave or know exactly where this pickle tristen comes from but it certainly is a little bit of fun and maybe one day the germans will know what im talking about but until then i have an idea. We will see later in the show well have more festive reports but 1st were off to england where well meet the creative cod and the tsongas he transforms classic cars into works of art which is shown at odds going to recent around the world and hes even been nominated for the prestigious turn up prize mainly though he just went to church cuts. Their heart on wheels. Candy sunday is a big u. K. Planes with existing models colors and shapes modifying the cars to achieve his vision. And when the designer takes his main automotive art project they tend to miss out on the roads of southern england hes living his dream. Its the spring. Hes bringing a small its about right its a lovely its the british call that the pale. At least all good all records go. Id approach its all over rolled together and all just to give just such a thrill because it is a baton goalball you. Know because its a Company Called its an amalgam i should have everything. HAndy Saunders ambition is to build cars that have never been seen before he speers no effort nor expense of actually spraying was 17 years building this car. These 7 fires and i was going into this construction and the panel doing this in my wood with my passion. He started work on the tennis in 2003 its based on a rare vintage 1937 cord say to. The contours are inspired by the shape of a drop of. Most of his works are based on wrecked or derelict antique cars like this 1940 pickup truck and the sanders took it apart and turned it into his custom designed metropolis car when he said work on a new piece of automotive art time becomes an important call makes following the kick you get out of creating this addictive its not the all book but. You dont make it a creation it doesnt matter how important the car is if the idea is important here. Everything else is of no importance sanders 1st fell in love with cars as a teenager restoring them in his fathers Auto Repair Shop when he took this one out for a spin and 984. 00 media from around europe took notice if you want to be. Annoying to 70 solid. Custom i dont know why they did or did it because on you to tell you what. They all call its never gone until i finish the sooners off an issue of lost interest as soon as he completes one of the vehicles he sounds or actions it out andy sanders through much attention again in 2006 with his flattest. And turns a mention in Guinness World records in 2010 he had to ask did a console ask ideas of cubism to assist wayne to see beat and the media began calling him the banksia the heart of would be what you wish i could see because as quick as you can take when youre doing stuff like. The creation and you kind of rebelling against Everything Else i suppose thats where he started really i think it was the media the. Maybe because he was doing it just for fun. As in the why the oil for. Saunders and jake fun and passion into his noble sculpture theyve already been displayed in several galleries in 2001 a few of his car creations were even nominated for the new p. C. Term arts prize called the saudis the rest of my life i want to just carry on creating things that are completely out of the ball appear remote more and are probably go another 200 calls that need to be paid well i think if my dream to do anything to get back to it was already. Of one thing we can be quite sure as far as Andy Saunders is concerned his next car will be his best and most beautiful of all. Traveling these days in times of the quran of ice pandemic is quite problematic and will trip is something to dream about but. Not really very realistic however you can actually experienced something similar on the Spanish Island of gran canaria on the 3rd largest Canary Island you can find 14 different microclimate zones my colleague candy dividing felt like he was travelling the World Without even leaving the island. Brown canary is the island of many faces. And. There was quite a nice touch on iraq and i was with the thing here is that every corner of the island is different sometimes it feels like in the so hot. And others like the bahamas. Drop into ravines or overgrown jungle paths. I feel like im in the alps. Or of venice. Its like a small world too or somehow all in one day on a single island. Im starting out in the desert at least thats what it looks like here in reality im strolling across the dunes at the must follow must resort. Here the trade winds shape and reshape the 6 kilometers of dunes on the island southern tip again and again. Its a natural spectacle and the vacationers love many hotels line the edge of the dunes more than 4000000 tourists came here in 2019 most were here for sun shore sea and mild temperatures the year round. But i want to see the grand canaria that lies beyond the tourist scene so i head inland to the but i go to last 70 kilos by the ravine of the falcons. Here you can see you know very narrow place like the jungle here yeah for. Cattle us or oh my is showing me what the prime evil environment looked like on drunken aria back then most of the island was covered with jungle the further we venture into the ravine the clearer it becomes to me that the island was created by volcanic eruptions. The broncos that are 70 carlos is a popular place to go. Canyoning im supposed to try it but im an absolute newbie. To. The only more exciting than i thought its hard to. Thank goodness im well secured for the trip down. Nevertheless my adrenaline level is staying. I thought it was all over when i was lying there. To be honest it wasnt the most dangerous descent and it still was lots of fun didnt have the i might of gran canaria that they were to have fun then be saved and places. A lot of hot but also we have like you many t. There were great rabins with a lot of for. And not to replace it with they call us the minions or continue because of this its a combination between. Things and seeing is. A good place to stop and catch my breath just put. This little point on the island south side is known for its colorful alleyways. And with a bit of imagination the little salt water canals could just as easily be somewhere and its. Only 50 kilometers north everything looks totally different this side of the island is green and for a job i get to valley is europes biggest coffee growing area. I want to head even higher up to the islands highest point the pico did ask. Me dina takes me to ground. And there are as mountain reaches. Of much sometimes we get snow appear not every year but from time to time its no longer life i know the same time you could be down on the beach something yourself naked or in her swimsuit on a continent youd have to travel many kilometers to get such a difference here so we want to shift in just a few minutes youre in another world theres a man recruiting on the red.
