OMG! You mean they do something different then a different country and culture!?!?! How crazy! I swear, these "I can't believe Americans do that" posts are ignorant.
As an American I take no offense to these. People around the world do things differently - and that's OK and good and interesting. What is kinda sad as an American is how businesses have totally hijacked every holiday as a money making opportunity - which is represented well in #13 above. Peace everyone.

Ab, I guess like the Kiwis would?! Btw.: The UAE bought two dozen snow plows from Austria (not Australia) to keep the sand off their highways. Kinda sweet, innit?
Olive, It's not a German thing. While americans like to claim this, the origins of this tradition are completly unclear. Most Germans have never even heard of that.
