Today I dropped by the Christmas Fair by the Cathedral. My friend Lina mentioned it as the place to go if I wanted to see Catalonia Christmas trees and decorations.
She specifically mentioned el Caganer, which are basically little pooping figurines. From what I've read having one of these is supposed to bring prosperity in the new year.
I had to see for myself and boy it was more interesting than I imagined. You had a pooping Flamenco dancer, Hello Kitty, Darth Vader and even a Jesus squatting and wishing prosperity to you.
Of course I just had to buy one.
Which one did you get? How did pooping get mixed up with Christmas there? Funny!
ReplyDeleteI have no idea.. but it seems to be the popular holiday theme. It's funny to me yet all very normal here. I wanted to buy Obama for you and Sponge Bob for sim and the list goes on...They were however about $20 a piece..
