In Finnish we have “kissanristiäiset” (literally means a cat’s christening), which means some trivial and meaningless celebration/event.

    Not sure if it’s a popular idiom or something my mom made up, but she would always say, “mas fácil cuadrar 100 micos para un foto”.

    It literally translates to “easier to gather 100 monkeys for a photo”, and she used it whenever something was particularly difficult.
