Another interesting holiday tradition: defecating figurines for your manger scene
 

Apparently in Catalonia it's a tradition of long, er, standing. Check out the slide show in this article.

It really goes to show that this world is just filled with amazing things, and people have all sorts of different and interesting traditions, eh?

I was VERY unprepared for this, I read the title as "defacing"!

Extremely strange.

Stranger still.... In the first picture:

It looks to me at first glance like this woman is pointing at the figurines with her left big toe. I did a bigger double-take at that than I did at the figurines!
