¡Gringo Tuesdays!

Shit on the nativity

This is well funny…
I’ve been spending a lot of time recently on SpanishDick.com, a great place to learn Spanish that also has a lovely community of people to help you with questions about Spanish language usage.
Anyway, today came up the question regarding what a caganer is. It seems that it is traditional in some parts to include in one’s nativity scene, a figure of someone just having curled out a massive logger!

Yeah I find it odd what with how sensitive some people can be about the sacredity with which they hold their beliefs…
