Just going to run a Chromebook and not upgrade to a Windows computer. Too many problems with the new Sims! 😱
Trying to keep peace and harmony and the will of Landru on the site seems to be a full time job!

Thanks!  More like the man, the myth, and the legend!  Actually my little buddy sitting on the piece of furniture!

I’m a Caga Tio 😂😂

I actually have one from my last trip to Barcelona. See attached photo. He resides with other things I’ve picked up upon my travels.

@charliearon

The story behind those and the tradition is pretty funny and interesting. The Catalan tradition of feeding it and then the kids beating it until it poops turròn had me laughing so hard when I heard the story.

You can find them everywhere in Barcelona during Christmas time at the Christmas markets.

Probably a lot of American’s haven’t heard about the Caga Tio.

Give that man a seegar!  On our last trip to Girona and then to Cere, France, we learned about Caga Tio (pooping uncle).  My brother-in-law was so fascinated he made several of them for himself and friends. He gets put out every Christmas season.

So the Caga Tio in your photo was made by your brother-in-law? The one in my photo I picked up at a Christmas market in Barcelona. Mines pretty small as I didn’t want to have to lug a big one back on the plane.

I hope your Caga Tio poops plenty of turròn for you to snack on this Christmas. 😂😂

Btw, the only time I’ve ever seen reference to the Caga Tio in the US was on an episode of Anthony Bourdain. There’s even a Caga Tio cartoon/song on YouTube.

Yep!  Right now he gets whacked with the stick and magically, M&Ms with peanuts appear!

I’m surprised none of our Spanish memebers or anyone from Catalonia has chimed in on this topic. Maybe the title didn’t catch their interest?

Probably not!  Most with knowledge of Spanish would have known the name and could easily done a Google search.
