Tió de Nadal

Tió de Nadal is a traditional Catalan Christmas figure, often represented as a wooden log with a painted face and a red hat. During the holiday season, children 'feed' the log and, on Christmas Eve or Christmas Day, hit it with sticks while singing songs, prompting it to 'magically' deliver small gifts and sweets. This festive ritual is a cherished part of Catalan culture and folklore.
