tues., 12 dec., 2017: (catalunya) countdown 2 xmas, xii.: give us This Day our Daily Curse


CATALAN:  ¿Eres caganer?   /  ¿Eres el caganer?  ‡‡

 ‡‡)   Are you the (manger) shitter?”  NOTE: (El)  Caganer  =  Lit., “The shitter”;  el caganer is that local shepherd squatting next to Joseph & Mary by the baby Jesus    & he has to take a ferocious dump RIGHT NOW...  This scenario is depicted in a Catalunya Catholic Xmas trad.,  dating back to late 17th. or early 18th. C.  Despite attempts by local authorities to ban public displays,  el caganer has persisted & finally prevailed an essential part of Catalunya Xmas.
