Yule Log



And going into the house they saw the child with Mary his mother, and they fell down and worshipped him. Then, opening their treasures, they offered him gifts of gold and frankincense and corn.

    You want to know what’s scarier than the fact this exists? The fact it’s actually a really popular tradition in areas of Spain, Portugal, and Italy: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caganer

      The best part is they sell all sorts of them now. You can get pretty much any cartoon character you want. The biggest one is located in Italy every year though.

      I had no idea. None. I’ve lead such a sheltered life. The only…interesting…statue I’ve ever heard about was Manneken Pis. You’re supposed to learn one new thing every day, and this is it for me, for Christmas Eve.

      Now THAT would make a hell of a Christmas present, a set of salt and pepper shakers. Caganer could crap pepper out of his ass and Manneken Pis can provide the salt!

      Also here are some excellent Caganer:

      Funny that people seem to be coming over all eeeeuw over a well-established southern European tradition. Still it is a bit odd, I suppose.

      I’m disturbed by the fact that Snowy’s poop appears to be white. Like, I don’t care if he has white fur; his poop isn’t turning white until it’s been sitting there for a week, minimum.

      If I were crass enough to own and display these (which I almost am) I think I’d get the Pope and Spongebob so I could place them together for Maximum Sacrilege(tm).

        Lesson:
        If Mary could pop a baby through her virgin hymen and very shortly thereafter receive company, you can ignore the turtle head long enough to pop in for a “Hey howyadoin’, nice baby! Gotta get back to the shi…eep” so as to avoid eternal butt shaming.

    I can honestly say this is one figurine my mom never had in her manger scene. Clearly, her cultural knowledge was lacking (we lived in a small town in Iowa, we’d never even heard of Catalan). I don’t think she would’ve been offended by it, though. We had various plastic farm animals from we kids toys in the scene(including pigs, which were definitely not Kosher), as well as a Pilgrim man and woman made out of corn husks. My mother wasn’t what you’d call a purist.
