This lovely tradition is called Tió de Nadal. When kids beat the log they should be singing the following song:

“shit, log, shit nougats (turrón), hazelnuts and mató cheese, if you don't shit well, I'll hit you with a stick, shit, log!”

My brother insists on a small tió de nadal every year hidden under the tree between the presents. It stares at you from its hiding spot with its creepy face, and I hate it.

One good thing about my culture at least is that I always have a great time explaining it to everyone I know now that I live in the UK. Their look of disbelief when I talk about the caganer fuels me.

Don't forget the Caganer, the shepherd in the nativity scene that missed the birth of Jesus because he was taking a shit.
