Spain: Poop log

In Catalonian Spain, Dec 8 is considered the beginning of Christmas. On this day, each family will bring out a festive "poop" log, a Christmas log that is a small hollow log with stick legs, a smiley face and a floppy red Catalan hat. Then every night until Dec 24, children are given tasks to take care of the log, including feeding him, watering him and covering him with a blanket to ensure he stays warm and comfortable.

On Christmas Eve, children will gather around the log and beat him with sticks while singing festival songs. Then a miracle happens, with the children discovering that the log has "pooped" out a number of candies and gifts, which were actually put inside by their parents.

西班牙：“拉”出甜食的原木怪物

一段空心原木被画上笑脸，戴上红帽子，然后从12月8日开始，孩子们每天晚上都给“原木怪”喂东西吃，还给它盖上毯子“保暖”。平安夜那天，孩子们围绕在“原木怪”四周，一边唱着欢乐的节日歌曲，一边用木棍敲打原木，于是就会发现“原木怪”拉出了许多糖果和礼物，这些东西都是父母事先放进去的。
