Around the start of the Christmas season, Caga Tio appears in markets in Catalonia, Spain. His drawn-on face, jaunty red hat, and broad smile make him easy to spot. However, there is a very special mystery in this Christmas log.
He poops nougats. Children feed the log candy and chocolates from December 8 through December 24 by leaving food in front of him at night. The meal is gone and the log has “grown” when they awaken in the morning. The children who “fed” Caga Tio throughout the month are delighted when he “poops” out the candy on Christmas Eve.
