| @Azazello, that is such a strange tradition. I just spent 10 minutes watching children hit a cardboard box with a blanket over it, with a wooden spoon. The funny bit is the actual translation of 'Caga tio'. I am reading the wikipedia article, thinking if the word 's***' has suddenly lost its vulgarity. 'On Christmas day or, depending on the particular household, on Christmas Eve, one puts the tió partly into the fireplace and orders it to "s***"' |
