It'S the holiday season.
That's why you're hearing these sound effects.
And in Catalonia, one part of the Christmas tradition is the Caganer in the nativity scene.
The Caganer we had never heard of before, really, just a couple moments ago.
Online to tell us about it is Mark Ignaci Koral.
He's a member of a society called the Friends of the Caganer.
Well, the caganer is a small figure we put in the nativities in Christmas.
And it's a pooper.
It's a guy pooping.
And it's quite traditional figure we use here in Catalonia in our nativities.
But, well, in recent years, it has become a very, very, very popular figure.
And they're making any sort of characters like politicians, sportsmen, or hello Kitty, for instance, or Darth Vader or the Queen of England.
Yes.
So I would have, say, a little figure of the Queen of England pooping.
Yes.
Or hello Kitty pooping.
Yes.
