Every family has their own holiday traditions, whether it's preparing a favorite meal, sending photo cards or a visit to the biggest light display in town, and many of those traditions have been passed down through the generations. If one of your traditions include hiding a pickle in a Christmas tree, you may be interested to know that researchers have soured the German roots origin theory. So, how do these traditions, rituals and customs get started? Ponder no more. Tune in Family Matters Radio this weekend as we talk to one of our favorite guests, Ace Collins. He is a master storyteller and he'll share tales from his book Stories Behind the Great Traditions of Christmas. It's an annual conversation that our listeners have enthusiastically responded to over the years. As far as the German pickle story, we'll have ours with a corned beef sandwich thank you.
