世界各地的古怪圣誕傳統（組圖）

Mention Christmas, and what we think of may be Santa Claus, Christmas trees, exchanging gifts, and having a fancy dinner. Actually Christmas is celebrated variously in different countries and some customs may seem to be quite weird. Let's take a look.

提到圣誕節，大多數人想到的是圣誕老人、圣誕樹、交換禮物和吃大餐。其實，在某些國家，圣誕節還有一些有趣甚至古怪的傳統節目，一起來開開眼界吧！

Spain: Poop log

In Catalonian Spain, Dec 8 is considered the beginning of Christmas. On this day, each family will bring out a festive "poop" log, a Christmas log that is a small hollow log with stick legs, a smiley face and a floppy red Catalan hat. Then every night until Dec 24, children are given tasks to take care of the log, including feeding him, watering him and covering him with a blanket to ensure he stays warm and comfortable.

On Christmas Eve, children will gather around the log and beat him with sticks while singing festival songs. Then a miracle happens, with the children discovering that the log has "pooped" out a number of candies and gifts, which were actually put inside by their parents.

西班牙：“拉”出甜食的原木怪物

一段空心原木被畫上笑臉，戴上紅帽子，然后從12月8日開始，孩子們每天晚上都給“原木怪”喂東西吃，還給它蓋上毯子“保暖”。平安夜那天，孩子們圍繞在“原木怪”四周，一邊唱著歡樂的節日歌曲，一邊用木棍敲打原木，于是就會發現“原木怪”拉出了許多糖果和禮物，這些東西都是父母事先放進去的。
