Your No. 2 favorite Christmas tradition

No Nativity scene is complete without the caganer - a figure caught in the act of taking a dump near the manger. (NSFW tag, ahoy!) The figurine (whose name translates as "the shitter") is an addition to the Nativity tableaus in the Catalonia region of Spain. Some interpret the caganer as a reminder that God can arrive on earth at any moment - and he doesn't care if he catches you with your britches down. The caganer figure is deeply rooted in the national identity of many Catalan people. Journalist Josep Pernau suggested the caganer should replace Cobi as the mascot for the 1992 Summer Olympics in Barcelona. He declared: "better a plump caganer with full thighs than a 'designer dog,'" which earned him special recognition by the the Friends of the Caganer, an association (ass-ociation?) dedicated to keeping the tradition alive. In 2005, Barcelona administrators banned the figure from that year's Nativity display, to encourage compliance with a recent city-wide law against public defecation. Massive protests forced the city to restore the caganer for the 2006 season. Traditional caganer figures are dressed in the garb of a Catalan peasant, but you can collect any number of personas: Santa Claus; Papa Smurf; a wide variety of politicians, including Barack Obama, George W. Bush, Sarah Palin and Silvio Berlusconi; Darth Vader; or a Playmobil-styled caganer to match the Playmobil Nativity playset. [Caganers previously on metafilter, and previouslier.]

For television stations around the world, December is the season of the Christmas tape. Unlike ordinary blooper reels, Christmas tapes (also known as goof tapes) are produced as entertainment for the staff Christmas party, with the intention that they will never be seen by the general public. Tropes of the genre include cruel practical jokes, after-hours misuse of the studio's green screen, in-jokes about unreliable equipment, sarcastic assessments of colleagues' work habits, and the usual piece-to-camera screwups. The B-B-C's tradition of in-house production, however, has ensured that its Christmas tapes contain such oddities as indecent daleks, Nazi weather presenters and on one occasion, a rather bad sci-fi film. Most links mildly NSFW.
