Better Than Bad, It's Good...

Here's a strange Christmas ritual for you.  Caga Tio means "Poop Log" in Spanish, and the Catalonians have a tradition of beating on a log wrapped in a blanket with a stick until it shits out gifts.  They also sing a song about how they don't want any herring, but they only want candy, so they order the log to shit candy out instead of herring.  I'm hoping to adopt this tradition next year.
