In Germany it is traditional to hide a pickle somewhere within the branches of the Christmas tree, and give a gift to whichever child in the household finds it.
Ukrainians use decorations for their Christmas Tree that mimic the natural formation of spiders' webs shimmering with dew.

Spiders' webs are also considered to be lucky in Ukrainian culture.
