It's Christmas and all around the world people are enjoying gentle, romanticised and friendly imagery. Whether it's religious, wintery or Santa Claus based, they all make us feel warm and fuzzy inside.
But what's going on at Christmas in the Catalan region of Spain?
They decorate their nativities and christmas scenes with a weird character called El Caganer. A bizzarely ugly peasant whose squatting with his pants down and defacating!
Apparently, El Caganer is a popular pooping peasant figure in Catalan Christmas nativity scenes, often found squatting off to the side of the traditional scene.
This giant version was displayed at the Maremagnum Shopping Centre in Barcelona, Spain in December 2010, and at 19-foot tall it was also the Guinness World Record winner for the Largest Caganer.
You gotta love it.
Enjoy and Merry Christmas.
