The
holiday
called
Christmas
is
an
amalgam
of
many
winter
holidays
from
around
the world. The name is designated as a celebration of the birth of Jesus,
although the date is not recorded in the Bible, and people at that time did
not
place
particular
important
on
birth
dates.
Scientists
say
the
actual
date
was June 17th, 2BC because of the appearance of the star that beckoned the
Magi. December 25th was set as the date for Christmas in the 4th century by
Pope Julius I as an attempt to Christianize midwinter pagan holidays such
as Solstice and Saturnalia. Customs such as bringing evergreens inside,
eating fat-laden foods, and hanging lights are universal responses to the
cold, dark winter season. Some of the stranger Christmas traditions are
remnants of those older pagan holidays, and some have been changed over the
centuries until their origins are hard to discern. Others were just made up
to boost Business!




1. Krampus




St. Nicholas, Father Christmas, or Santa Claus is the weirdest
Christmas
tradition
ever,
but
he
is
so
well
known
and
so
well
documented
that
his origins are beyond the scope of this particular post. As a tool to
encourage
good
behavior
in
children,
Santa
serves
as
the
carrot,
and
Krampus
is the stick. Krampus is the evil demon anti-Santa, or maybe his evil twin.
Krampus Night is celebrated on December 5th, the eve of St. Nicholas Day in
Austria and other parts of Europe. People dress as Krampus and roam the
streets looking for someone to beat with a stick. Since it is also a night
for
drinking,
the
beatings
probably
don’t
hurt much.

< br>圣诞节是全世界冬季节日的集合。之所以取名为圣诞节，是为着纪念耶稣的诞
生，尽管《圣经中》 并未记载耶稣诞生的具体日期，那个时期的人对出生日期也不
甚重视。科学家说，具体日期实为公元前< br>2
年
6
月
17
日，因为在那一天，昭示东方
三博士的 星星出现了。公元前
4
世纪，为了把一些冬至时期的异教徒节日（如冬至
日和农神节） 基督教化，教皇尤利西斯一世把
12
月
25
日定为基督诞生日。而一些
传统，如在屋内摆置常绿树，吃油脂丰富的食物，挂小灯，则是在寒冷阴暗的冬季
之时，人们的普遍做 法。还有一些更为奇特习俗，是古老异教节日的遗留物；一些
历经几个世纪后，变化颇大，已难以溯及其 源头；另外一些则是受商业利益驱使而
生。




(“K rampus*”是巴伐利亚地区和阿尔卑斯山其他一些地区的传统活动，每年
12
月前后举行 。
Krampus
是圣诞老人的原型——圣人尼古拉斯的助手，在当地的传
说中，他肩 背一个装着礼物的大袋子，手拿一根棍子，好孩子可以收到他的礼物，
顽皮的孩子则会被棍子敲打。)




2. Caga Tió





In English, Caga Tió is “the pooping log”. Really. The Catalan
custom
is
still
celebrated
in
Spain,
where
you
can
buy
your
own
el
Caga
Tió.
The log is ho
llowed out, with legs and a face added. You must “feed” him
every day beginning on December 8th. On Christmas Eve or Christmas Day, put
him
in
the
fireplace
and
beat
him
with
sticks
until
he
poops
out
small
candies,
fruits, and nuts. When he is through, the final object dropped is a salt
herring, a garlic bulb, or an onion. Oh yeah, there is a traditional song
the family can sing to encourage the process.




poop log,





poop turrón,





hazelnuts and cottage cheese,





if you don’t poop well,





I
’ll hit you with a stick,





poop log!


2 Caga Tió



翻成英语，Caga Tió
是指“拉屎的木头”。是真的。这一习俗源 自加泰罗尼亚，
西班牙仍然保留着这一传统，在那里，你可以买到自己的
Cago Tió。木 头是真空的，
添了手和脚。从
12
月
8
日起，你必须每日“喂养”它 ，到了圣诞前夕或者圣诞节当
天，再把它放到壁炉里，用棍子打它，直到它拉出小糖果、水果和坚果。拉 完后，
最后出来的是一条咸鱼，一根大蒜或者一段洋葱。哦，对了，还有一首传统的歌曲，
一家 人唱着，鼓励木头“拉屎”。






拉屎木



快拉杏仁



拉榛果，拉松软干酪



你要是不好好拉



我就拿棍子打你



拉屎木






3. Caganer




Another Catalonian tradition is the Caganer, a Christmas statue
found
in
nativity
scenes
in
Andorra
and
parts
of
Spain,
Italy,
and
Portugal.
The scenes depict the entire town of Bethlehem, and the Caganer is usually
tucked
away
in
a
corner,
far
from
Mary
and
Joseph.
The
Caganer
needs
privacy,
because
he
is
defecating.
There
are
quite
a
few
explanations
for
this
custom,
but
none
have
been
confirmed
as
the
original
source.
Caganers
have
been
used
for
at
least
a
couple
hundred
years.
You
can
even
buy
Caganers
that
resemble
modern-day celebrities. (Image by Flickr users clare_and_ben.)



3 Caganer


另一个加泰罗传统为
Caganer
的圣诞雕塑，在安道尔、西 班牙的部分地区、意
大利以及葡萄牙，人们可以在耶稣诞生布景上看到它。这个场景刻画了整个伯利恒，
而
Gaganer
通常被置于小角落里，远离圣母玛利和约瑟夫。它在大便，所以需要 私
人场所。关于这一习俗有甚多解释，但是没有一个被确认为是最初的版本。
Caganers
至少已经出现
200
年了。你可以买到仿现代名人的
Caganers.




4. The Pickle Ornament




The
story
goes
that
when
German
families
decorate
the
Christmas
tree,
the last ornament to be hung is the Christmas pickle -usually a blown glass
ornament that may have been passed down through generations. It is tucked
away
in
a
hard-to-see
spot
(it
is
green,
after
all).
The
first
child
who
finds
the pickle on Christmas morning gets a special gift and good luck all the
next year. The trouble with this legend is that people in Germany were
unfamiliar
with
it.
Glass
tree
ornaments
were
indeed
made
in
Germany,
in
the
shape
of
fruits
and
vegetables
and
other
objects.
These
ornaments
became
very
popular in America when F.W. Woolworth began importing them in the 1880s.
