Caga tió and Caganer

Caga tió is an Aragonese and Catalan mythological character who has a holiday tradition in Aragon and Catalonia.
December 8, begin to feed at Tió every day at Tió, it will cover with a blanket to not be cold.
Normally Tió fire was setting and it was defecating, only now you are stuck with sticks so shit gifts accompanied of songs.
The tradition of tió this askin to the christmas tree, also carrying gifts for  the children of the house. In Galicia wood burned on christmas eve.

SONGS IN CATALONIA

Being simples songs and rhymes based on simples songs because traditionally they have been created and sung by children, there are many varitions on these. Read:
Caga tió -caga tió-
ametlles i torró -almendras y turrón-
no caguis arangades -no cagues arenques-
que són massa salades -que son demasiado salados-
caga torrons -caga turrones-
que són més bons -que están más buenos-
Caga tió -caga tió-
ametlles i torró -almendras y turrón-
si no vols cagar -si no quieres cagar-
et donaré un cop de bastó -te daré un golpe de bastón-
Caga tió!



A caganer is a figurine of birth which is usually placed in the cribs, a tradition in Catalonia  Valencia, usually hidden in a corner, trying not to stay in a prominent place.
The tradition of caganer is fully accepted by the Chruch. Place figurine on the crib brouth luck and joy.
The caganer isn't the only typical Catalan Christmas character defecating.

At his time people Caganers have created all kings.
There Caganers singers, footballers, actors...
I put examples of Caganers singers:
