The "Caganer" to BBC

Probably, only catalan people know the mean of this word: "Caganer", but what happens if we explain to another people the mean of this word?:

In this video we can see Stephen Fry is explaining in BBC some customs of Catalonia, and the most spectacular is the faces of the players.

We know that "caganer" isn't the only character typical of the Catalan Christmas that defecate. There is another tradition, a tree trunk that children choose and that led to dining room. It is covered by a blanket because it hasn't got cold and the guys must to feed until Christmas Day, when children have to sing typical's Catalonia songs, and they must to give blows with a stick because "cagatió" give presents to children.

I think that it is one common tradition here, but in the other countries it is a very strange custom, but it isn't the most strange, because in other sites in the world we can see traditions more strange that it; for example in Jamaica, the people bury dead people into the garden of this house and it becomes to a party to say goodbye, and it's prohibited to mourn.
