I found this, and i hope you like it . It's a list of the top 10 unusual or "extranges" costumes in the world. 
10.- The bahai people of Iran have teir own calendar consisting of nineteen months each one with nineteen days. 
     Can you imagine that?  Those are 361 days.. waht happend with the other four? 
9.- A norwegian bride traditionally wears a silver crown with dangling charms to ward of evil spirits.
     That can be useful ! 
8.- Japanese children cover their tummy button when they hear a thunder.
     I'm wondering why.. 
7.- Golden and silver coins are placed inside a brides wedding shoes in Sweden
     How can you walk with coins in your feets? 
6.- Father frost. In Russia father frost bring presents for the children on new year's day. 
     Present on christams and in new year? Cool ! 
5.- In the netherlands,Santa has a helper called  Zwarte Piet or Black pete 
     In chile the helpers are the dwarves. 
4.- In some parts of the middle east  the wedding celebrations can involve five parties, beginning with the engagement party and ending with the wedding shower seven days after the marriage. 
      That's a long wedding ! 
3.- In Greece and Bulgaria a child's tooth is thrown onto the roof for good luck. 
     It works? i'll try next time :) 
2.- The core celebration of carnival in Ivrea city, Italy, is based on a locally famous Battle of the Oranges. 
     They really fight with oranges? that's weird. 

And finally, but not less important, the number one of our UNUSUAL COSTUMES IN THE WORLD ! 
1.- The krampus night is celebrated in Austria on december 5th, and Krampus is described as a Santa Claus evil twin brother !
