The Caga Tió (left) and caganers figurines (right). For the whole month of December, children leave food and water out for Caga Tió, which translates to pooping log. Then they hit the log with a stick on Christmas Eve, and Caga Tió "poops out" presents. People take this tradition very seriously, the streets of Barcelona are decorated with this pooping log, and every store has one in its window. In the same vein, caganers are another fascinating Christmas tradition in Catalonia.
