El Caganer
In the principality of Catalonia Spain, it has become customary to decorate the traditional nativity scene with an extra something, or rather someone.
This extra character is known as El Caganer, also known as "The Pooper".
While traditionally the ceramic figure has been that of a Shepard, contemporary figures range in all different personalities, including, Hello Kitty, American Presidents, Star Wars Characters, Religious Icons such as the Pope and movie actors and characters, the list is endless, there is also a service to have "Poopers" custom made of family members....
