Gherkin Christmas tree baulbles:



I am working from home today in order to attempt to get going on a report that I am not managing to find a moment for in the office, nor indeed when I worked from home on Friday. First step: stop looking at terrible Christmas decorations.

It looks like a normal (if horribly coloured) bauble that's melted.

These are actually traditional in the US! For an 'invented as a late-19th-century marketed campaign' definition of tradition: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christmas_pickle. We never had one, but my cousins always did.

I have one of those. It amuses me.

I went to Tiger (Flying Tiger, now...) today, to look at their christmas ornaments. I didn't buy any, but while they didn't have any gherkins, they did have a hot dog. (In either tin or glass?) As a christmas tree ornament.
