Something funny I've seen is that in Norway it's customary to distribute the income tax deduction over 11.5 months instead of 12, so that in November or December people only get deducted half the regular tax on their payslip. This is done to ensure that everyone has money for Christmas. It's so dumb and beautiful that I can't help but love the idea.
