Summary at a Glance

The Catalan region, which includes Barcelona, Girona, and Tarragona, has not one but two Christmas traditions involving poo - the first of which is the Caga Tió, which translates directly to 'the sh*tting log'.

Some traditions have ancient roots, such as the folklore surrounding the visit of Krampus in the Alpine regions, while others are much more modern, with plenty of Swedish families sitting around the TV on the December 24 to watch Disney films, particularly the 1958 All of Us to All of You.

But it's the Spanish region of Catalonia that has perhaps one of the weirder Christmas traditions - and it has to do with a unique aspect added to their nativity scenes.
