In Germany, parents hang up a fake pickle ornament on Christmas Eve. On Christmas morning, the first child to find the Christmas pickle gets a special treat. Ukrainians actually decorate their Christmas tree with fake spiders and spider webs.

On Christmas morning, they noticed it was covered in spider webs. When the sunlight hit the tree, the webs turned to tinsel.
