@malcontent33 Jaja ben dit!!! Aquí com a mínim tenim tradicions conectades amb els nostres avantpassats, la nostra tradició i manteniment del record dels que en precedien...!

[Jordipujadesgirona]

@31operafan Obviously: this ancient tradition is connected to the ancestral traditions about the winter solstice practized by pre-roman peoples as Celts, Ibers, etc..

France has something similar to this (their yule log also produces gifts if you hit it with sticks). So the tradition is not entirely confined to Andorra or Catalonia.

@gekizai no, i am catalan the tio don't shits anything, just you beat it and the is broken and all the presents flow out , its like a pinyata

[gekizai]

Ok, wait... you beat the shit out of a log and it poops out stuff... much of which you are supposed to eat. This is like the weirdest mashup ever of Log™ (see: Ren and Stimpy,) Mr. Hanky™ (see: Southpark) and a pinata. This thing must be real though. I've run across too many other references to it on the web. It just sounds like something from a parallel universe or something, wow.
