1. Morocco Remember when...

    You were scared to not get gifts from Santa if you were bad?  Yeah, well, Morocco (in the deep Southern Region) stepped that up a notch.  Moroccan kids were scared by Goat Man if they misbehaved.  After Eid, Moroccans dressed in goat skins to frighten little kids straight.  Worked for me.  Credit to Mark Smith!
