[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]No wonder many visitors keep asking what all this is about.\u00a0 It\u00b4s our pleassure to tell you a bit about this fantastic tradition we \u00f1pve in Catalonya for December 24th eve.<\/p>\n

A few weeks prior this Xmas date, families collect and pick a mid-sice tree trunk and carry it home. Since then, this tree trunk becomes a family member -:), and it\u00b4s called \u00a8Ti\u00f3\u00a8<\/p>\n

The traditions makes kids and all family members feed well \u00a8ti\u00f3\u00a8 every evening until December 24th eve when it\u00b4s covered with a warm blanket, starting thus the best fan part:<\/p>\n

While children and babies hit \u00a8ti\u00f3\u00a8 with a wood stick, a very typical popular son is chanted out. Among the many versions of this son, the most common and well known reads:<\/p>\n

Caga Ti\u00f3, neules i torrons, sin\u00f3 cagues ara \u2026 \u00a1cop de bast\u00f3!<\/em><\/p>\n

Caga Ti\u00f3, Ti\u00f3 de Nadal, no caguis arengades que s\u00f3n molt salades<\/em><\/p>\n

Caga torrons que s\u00f3n m\u00e9s bons<\/em><\/p>\n

Sin\u00f3 cagues torrons \u2026 cop de bast\u00f3, cop de bast\u00f3<\/em><\/p>\n

\u00a1Cop \u2013 de \u2013 bast\u00f3!<\/em><\/p>\n

Caga Ti\u00f3, neules i torrons, d\u2019aquells bastons<\/em><\/p>\n

I un confit de tan en tan<\/em><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Once the song is over, children right away put their hands under the blanket and BINGO…. there are the GIFTS & TREATS…\u00a0 This moment may last, depending how well you have fed \u00a8ti\u00f3\u00a8,\u00a0 about a couple of hours. Once \u00a8ti\u00f3\u00a8 has been assisted to \u00a8shit\u00a8 and realease every gift, children go to sleep happy and nervous awaiting the arrival of Santa Claus -:)<\/p>\n

Traditionally, once upon a time, when the ceremony was finished, \u00a8t\u00edo\u00a8 was burnt at home fireplace giving away light and heat.<\/p>\n

This is a very funny catalonian family tradition, specially for kids.<\/p>\n
