Right. Here’s the thing. In my Irish opinion (and I realise this is probably a case of people in glass houses…) but Catalans are mad. Here are some pictures to help get my point across…
Forget Mr Hanky the Christmas Poo… Behold! The CAGANER!
The complete explanation for the Caganer is here but in a nutshell:
The Caganer is a feature of the Catalonian crib. He sits in the corner of the traditional nativity scene. Yes he is taking a dump and no this is not a joke. This little fella is part and parcel of the Christmas scene. Caganer roughly translates as The Pooping Man and his reason for being in the crib is unknown (see linked article).
I reckon where there’s a caganer, there’s Gillian McKeith having a good gawk. She’s so decrepit, it is feasible that she was present at the birth of Jesus Christ. Possibly as the donkey.
