In Finland, it is popular for children to dress up as Easter witches and go door to door in neighborhoods and trade decorated pussy willow branches for coins and candy.
This is an old Karelian custom called virpominen.

It is customary for the children to chant, with some variation, "Virvon varvon tuoreeks, terveeks, tulevaks vuodeks, vitsa sulle, palkka mulle!"
which translates as "I'm wishing you a fresh, healthy upcoming year, a branch for you, a prize for me!"
The chant has been translated in Juha Vuorinen's novel Totally Smashed!
as "Willow switch, I'm the Easter witch!
I wish you health and a love that's rich!
From me I bring some luck today, for this branch what will you pay?"
