Description

This is a very typical tradition in Catalonia. Chlidren days before xmas day "feed" this piecie of wood covered with a blanket (wears a typical hat in catalonia) with sweets and fruits during the night. Then "he" eats all these days and in the mourning of 25 children kick the wood with a stick singing this song:
"Caga tió
ametlles i torró
no caguis arangades
que són massa salades
caga torrons
que són més bons
Caga tió
ametlles i torró
si no vols cagar
et donaré un cop de bastó
Caga tió!"

Then "Cagatió" poos under the blanket and the children can found full of candies and presents. It's a nice traditon.
