Christmas Log (Tió de Nadal)

Gorka Villar, Joel Tak, Eric Aguado.

The Tió de Nadal is a common Christmas tradition in Cataluña and Aragón which consists of drawing a face on a thick log and covering it with a blanket.

The tió of Nadal is a tradition of rural and pre-Christian origin made in Cataluña and Aragón, originally representing the log that was burnt in the home in the winter months. In earlier times it was conceived as a tribute to the ancestors on Christmas Day, as the log was burnt and the ashes were dispersed in the fields.
