‡‡) (El) Caganatio
= Lit., "The shitting log..."
— (El) Caganatio is another Catalan Cath. Xmas trad. A log with a face carved or painted on it is swathed in a
blanket. On Xmas eve the children
shout at & abuse the log, exhorting the log to shit their Xmas treats; when the blanket is removed the Xmas
treats are found, treats
obligingly shat out by the coprocopia known as (El) Caganatio.
