This has tickled me so much, I had no idea: Dax Partridge you will love this: The Tió de Nadal also known simply as Tió (trunk or log, a big piece of cut wood) or Tronca (log) and popularly called Caga tió (shitting log), is a character in Catalan mythology relating to a Christmas tradition widespread in Catalonia. The form of the Tió de Nadal found in many Catalan homes during the holiday season is a hollow log of about thirty centimetres length. Recently, the tió has come to stand up on two or four little stick legs with a broad smiling face painted on the higher of the two ends, enhanced by a little red sock hat. Beginning with the Feast of the Immaculate Conception (December 8), one gives the tió a little bit to eat every night and usually covers him with a little blanket so that he will not be cold at night. On Christmas day or, depending on the particular household, on Christmas Eve, one puts the tió partly into the fireplace and orders it to defecate. To make it defecate one beats the tió with sticks, while singing various songs of Tió de Nadal. I SWEAR TO GOD THIS IS THE SONG LYRICS: Shit log, shit nougats (turrón), hazelnuts and cottage cheese, if you dont shit well, Ill hit you with a stick, shit log! Best.Song. Ever.
