Christams fun by the Catalonians!

Since the 18th century, Catalonians have celebrated Christmas by placing a ‘Caganer’ (’Shitter’) in a nativity scene, with the hope that a defecating figure will bring propserity and a good harvest. In the past this has been a bearded wise man, but these days it's more celebrity driven, like most things! This year's top sellers are Barcelona players Thierry Henry and Lionel Messi, and new American President Barrack Obama. Seiously, every home should have one of these!!
