9. Go Boots-Struggling in Germany
Where: Germany
Price: A boot
If you’re a child in Germany, it’s customary to put your boot outside your door on December 5. If you’ve been good, toys and snacks will be waiting for you when you wake up in your boot (or shoe). All you can anticipate if you’ve behaved badly is a branch.

This custom honors Nicholas of Myra, who passed away in 346 A.D., on St. Nicholas Day. Oranges and chocolate coins are customarily given as gifts on St. Nick’s Day since they both symbolize the saint’s generosity toward others, especially children.
