Is Catalonia the Place the Catalan Log That Poops Nuggets at Christmas?

Catalan tradition involves critting a character out of like a log and feeding it fruit nuts sweets. On christmas eve, the family beats the log with sticks and sings a song that translates to basically, if you don't craft, well, i'll beat you with a stick until the log excretes all its treats what. They decorate nativity scenes with small, pooping, seramic figurines,. usually like well known people from throughout the year or something who pants around their ankles when they're not doing anything else. The only thing more weird than this is te hidein the pickle - which we've always done in our home as far back as i can remember.
