I know this may be hard to believe, but there are some Christmas traditions that totally miss the mark. There are grown men who dress in devil costumes and roam the streets of Austria with chains and a basket to (pretend) abduct super bad kids. And in Catalan, there s the tradition of the defecating log where people make a character out of a log, feed it fruit, nuts, and sweets, and then on Christmas Eve they beat the log and sing a song that roughly translates to, If you don t poop, well, I ll beat you with a stick. They beat the log until it excretes all of its treats.
