Straying a little bit here...
I do have something to share on Nativity scenes in general, at least.

We all know the traditional Nativity scene, right? Joseph and Mary and the three Wise Men and various shepherds standing around a feed trough looking at what seems to be a 40 watt light bulb.

Apparently in Catalan they also have another figure: the caganer. (A better picture of him can be found here.)

I'm waiting to take part in a live Nativity scene one year, just so I can take on this role... I mean, who wouldn't want to lay an enormous poo next to the manger?

EDIT: You can even get George Bush and Gordon Brown caganers, ffs. I think I've found the thing that I need to collect. Check out the various ones you can get!

I bought one of them on ebay
"A man taking a dump tastefully recreated from clay, how unusual, must have it" I thought. I now realise that they make millions of them.

Apparently
they now make celebrity ones too.

I saw Angela Merkel and Barack Obama done as caganers in my quick Google search.

I'm not saying that the Spanish are racist
but was Barack doing or being?

Pffft.
Doing.

In fact, I think that I might have to start searching out caganers and start collecting them! I could dedicate an entire shelf to them- how great would that be? An entire row of little porcelain figures shitting? IT MUST BE DONE!

WTF!
Bloody foreigners and their foreign ways.

I'd say
that this fits in admirably with b3ta. Apparently we're all Catalonians (or whatever they are) at heart. I mean, who among us wouldn't take great delight in taking a shit next to the manger?

That's clearly a fake
We all know that the pope shits in the woods

I like these.
I have three different ones but haven't managed to get a Pixaner (the pisser) which is popular in Southern Spain. In Murcia they have an old woman with a basket of eggs.
