Christmas in Spain


Ah... the lights are up, the marzapan in baking, the chestnuts are roasting and the nativity scenes are full of people taking a shit. Yes, it is true. Almost every nativity scene has a character taking a dump. Why, I don't know. I've included a link to a wikipedia article: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caganer. Also, one of the the greatest Christmas traditions of the Catalan (the area around Barcelona) people is to have their children beat an over-sized of St. Nick-like log with sticks until-- you guessed it-- it craps. Turns out that Spanish is rife with potty vocabulary. There is a specific and socially acceptable verb to describe the process of getting ready to take a dump. It's sort of like us alluding to our morning coffee but much more blunt. Why? Well one has to live here to understand....

SEASONS GREETINGS!!!
POOP WELL IN THE NEW YEAR!!!
