In these days of Christmas we spend all time with the family and the people that matter for us.
In a lot of countries, in the Christmas day there is Santa Claus that he distribute presents for all the families in the world. But, here in Catalonia there isn't any Santa Claus, we have "el tió” that consist in hit the trunk with a stick singing a song about it. When the song finish, all the children go to the kitchen or another room apart of the place where is the “tió” and they sing the song or they pray. After the trunk shit the presents, the children, run for lift the blanket and open the presents. And this things are made many times that the “tió” shit.
The “caga tió” is doing at night on 24th of december. In my family, we go to my uncles house. First, we do the dinner, after, we shit the “tió” and when this finish, we have the dinner.
I think that this is a special day where we spend a nice time with our family.
Days before, the children give food to the "Tió"
