The Six Craziest Christmas Traditions

[@isaacpratdesavagonzalez8781]

Catalan here. The shitting log, called Tió, has to be fed for around a month (like leaving cookies and milk for Santa), then it gets beaten with sticks while singing in order to make it shit some presents. Not kidding. It's serious business around here.

[@gishathosaurus6828]

The shitting logdude, almonds and nougat...

[@daianmoi8528]

That sounds incredible.

[@grey3247]

Porqué???

[@niikameii5116]

Well, that's actually not true. "Tio" means uncle in Spanish, in Catalan it's "oncle". "Tió", with an accent, just refers to a piece of wood meant to be burned. But yeah, the traditon itself is quite unconventional 😂.

[@casenc]

I'm catalan, i know what you mean. I used to get super excited to feed it orange slices Xd

[@swiftswalow]

i'm catalan... this is 100% accurate. but you forgot about the fact that to make the shitting log shit the presents children have to hit it with a stick several times singing "caga tió o et donaré un cop de bastó" the tradition would be: "shit, log, or i will hit you with a stick".

That actually is the only reasonable explanation there is for why this exists

[@acteny8504]

+nvrules27 grotesque => there something special happend - but still someone had to take a shit

[@BigHalfSteps]

+nvrules27 The most reasonable explanation would be that someone wanted to literally take a shit on the christian religion by placing the Caganer everywhere so people would mistook it as a part of the religion and be disgusted by it. People thought it was standard to have one Caganer there, so it was spreading worldwide. So no one would convert himself to christianity or people from christianity would go away from the religion because there's a guy taking a shit right in the place where Jesus was born. But now when I think of it, the trime traveler is the most reasonable explanation.

[@CPTNAustralia1]

[@Jeroen_Mastenbroek]

I'm from the Netherlands. Zwarte piet isn't Christmas, it is sinterklaas (it is a holiday older than christmas and the people who created christmas used manny things from sinterklaas). There are some similarities but they are very different, sinterklaas is for a few weeks in holland delivering gifts and returns to Spain on 5th of december. Also sinterklaas is much more a culture thing than christmas it is soo old even parents of grandparents celebrated it. That makes for more tradition, than christmas. It is a shame people over the world look so critical to this tradition without knowing what they are talking about.

[@Visigodo666]

+Visigodo666 Oh and BTW the most accepted theory about the origin of the caganer is that shit is a good fertilizer for the land. And since Catalans are said to be tightfisted its something desirable. To have someone shiting your lands. About the shitting log. Its called "tió" and in order to make it shit presents you have to fake feed him for some weeks before christmas (orange peels, potatoes, onions...) and on christmas eve all the kids grab sticks to hit him while singing a song. Then you remove the blanket covering him (to protect the log from cold and dont see the presents) and pick the gifts.

[@grey3247]

[@miquelcastellvidomingo8085]

great video, as a catalan it felt awesome to see our wierdest traditions in a collegehumor video, but I would say the Tio (aka shitting log) is a lot more wierd than the caganer. you feed a log during weeks and in christmas night force him with violence into shitting presents for you.

There are even competitions about who can find it first in some very big nativity scenes, I loved trying to find it as a kid ☺ And the "caga tió", weeell, it's a log with a face and a traditional hat (barretina) and kids hit it with sticks and sing a song 'till it shits presents.

[@Shouziroku]

+Silverizael We've always had a sense of humor about not taking anything way too seriously. The shitting log is true too, and it has to do with the "giving" of logs at winter, being light and heat their presents. With time it became about small presents (mostly sweets) for children.

[@davsan9392]

+Silverizael i'm not christian, but I do it cause' is a tradition, it's like the tradition of play with firework on the 4th of July (in America) it's a tradition and people do it because it's fun, like the caganer. The funny thing is that here in Catalonia we have lots of weird traditions like this one and we keep doing them because is our culture.

[@Momochan274]

+Silverizael It's not really a Christian tradition (caganer), and honestly no one I've ever heard of gives a f about it. When I explained it to my family in Portugal (they're very catholic and it's a tradition that no one knows about there) they just laughed it off actually.

Zwarte piet is NOT christmas it has it OWN holiday called "Sinterklaas" Sinterklaas is a bearded man who in comparing to santa did exsist who brings presents from chimneys he climbs up the roof with his white horse "americo" and he has a LOT of helpers named Zwarte piet. And a lot of Peaple think its "racist" becouse there Black even thou kids are tolled there Black becouse they climbe trou chimneys.

Also the separation of Spain and Catalunya will only economically destroy Catalunya, the whole separation thing was made by politicians to swing votes, AAANNNNDDDD in the Spanish constitution its illegal for parts of of Spain to leave Spain the last ones being probably the central American colonies

[@casenc]

Me to! He pensat la mateixa cosa! Pero el video es divertit igual XD

[@matthewpost8633]

This is literally the best video on KZbin

[@granguindu]

We ALWAYS make it into this list! Thanks for the honor College Humor.

[@vlakiria]

Sorry but it's a CATALAN tradition, NOT spanish.

[@freshrockpapa-e7799]

...That's what he said?

[@nugzarmikeladze]

last time I checked Catalonia is still part of Spain.

[@mathematicalmushroom4394]

It was fun, only one thing: CATALONIA IS NOT SPAIN. ;)

[@WidthTomJones]

Senyor Cactus It still legally is, I’m pretty sure. It might not be now but it was a year ago

[@theconeezeanemperor1619]

Nope, it still is. No one recognised its independence and Spain just went "No you don't" basically. It didn't even go out with a bang, apparently the government Catalonia set up just went "Oh, ok".

[@thebeingdestroyerofworlds8690]

Home, tecnicament seguim seguint part de Espanya, fins i tot encara no estem separats politicament

[@ivanpaszkowski7301]

in barcelona, the shitting log is covered by a blanket, and the children hit him with sticks and sing a song

[@paunadal5529]

Such an honor to be Catalan and so awesome to be part of one of your videos! Keep it up!!! Visca Catalunya!!!

[@adeelk7617]

I half expected Mike to die from Krampus at the end

[@darkbluemars]

Oh please this is way better than Krampus. I can't imagine my childhood being haunted all Christmas by Krampus :(

[@mickeysavage2078]

College Humor is becoming really funny again.

[@ce4130]

This was the funniest CollegeHumor video I've seen

[@Phyankord]

eatin breakfast at 7 pm. watching a video. almost cleaning said breakfast off of computer screen. this is the life...

[@camilogarciaylasaari1857]

I had heard about this a long time ago, but in time I forgot about it and thought it was just a weird dream or a joke. Now this video confirmed it exists and I don't know what to think about that.

[@AlbertBalbastreMorte]

Proud Catalan here. We rarely make it to any list of any kind. But boy, when it comes to Christmas, we simply shine.

[@FMGaming462]

This is hilarious, because this was exactly my reaction when I found out El Caganer existed this month! It's hard to believe such a thing fits in the Nativity scene!

[@estelaalcazar408]

I'M FROM CATALONIA AND I CAN'T STOP LAUGHING HAHAHAHAHAHAH I ACCEPT WE ARE WEIRD 😂😂😂

[@mgonza1350]

Wow, Mike sure has lost some weight. Looking good, buddy! Merry Christmas!

[@juliagarcia28]

The nativity scene is about the caganer, don't let anyone fool you.

[@Heeby-Jeebies]

I saw a stupid list video and thought, "move along..." then I saw it was college humor, and was NOT disappointed! Thanks for being entertaining, and not lame, guys!

[@Tenrek]

The "nobody knows" is so memorable to me

[@alexlatchemwood938]

them mad Christmas traditions that go overboard about Christmas.

[@bentonrobertson9015]

My families Christmas tradition is to pick out a tree that is still wrapped up so we don't get to see if it's a good tree or not until we get home. It's fun but we've gotten some pretty shitty trees before. This years one was one of the best ones yet. o

[@oriolvernet2221]

Awsome video. Moltes gràcies !

[@RRecaR]

I learned nothing but this is funny af. love you Mike

[@trinisasha868]

Now I'll NEVER forget about the BEST Christmas Tradition EVER....The Caganer

[@ChestersonJack]

I love Trapp’s triple-highlight anime eyes

[@LeCid57000]

So back in 2010 I was in Barcelona around christmas time. I stumbled upon this 20 feet tall statue of a dude squatting and taking a dump, right in the middle of a shopping mall. It was just him though, and nobody else. It puzzled the hell out of me, but I just sort of dismissed it. Now I finally know what it was all about. Thank you, I'll go to bed slightly less dumb tonight, though only slightly.

[@KristopherMiller0]

I think this is my favorite College Humor video, and Trapp is definitely my favorite College Humor comedian. :D

[@lollipop171]

The best "top random number" list ever !!!

[@thedredmanable]

The one single crazy Christmas tradition. Featuring; The Caganer and not a single other thing.

[@josh.0220]

they say repetition makes comedy not work but this totally did

[@luck3yme]

looking good Trapp! I see you've been slimming down.

[@ricardillapujagut8073]

I think the shitting log (we call it caga tió) deserves its own video too. We feed it with food leftovers for weeks and on christmas day we beat him with sticks and threaten it to keep beating him unless he shits out presents. Yeah, santa is not scatological enough for us :D
