Pooping Man!

Ok, this is not a joke, but the Pooping man is actually really important in Spain during our Christmas time and New Years! In Spain, the spanish don't really think much of Santa Claus and instead they celebrate the coming of a couple of really different people! They associate the 3 Wise Men and the Pooping man as the ones who bring the presents to the little kids! Ok, so the story goes that the Pooping man poops out the presents that the little kids want for christmas, then the 3 wise men go and bring the presents to your house  when you are asleep! So basically they kicked out old Santa Claus and replaced him with the Pooping man and the 3 Wise Men! And by the way, the pooping man is the symbol of the city of Barcelona if I didn't say that already :) Oh and if you cannot see her, the Queen of England is also a popular figurine for the pooping "woman."
