A new Christmas Tradtion

[bluegargantua]

Hey,

I sure hope wikipedia isn't spoofing me.

Because this is the greatest Christmas tradition of all time!

I totally want a tronca next year. I also want to sing Sweedish drinking songs and chug back some aqua vite. It'll be a mult-ethnic Christmas!

heh

I find it amusing that they relate it to a Christmas Tree, when it's clearly much closer to a piñata.

I wont get into all the various reasons why I like the sound of this... and, true or not, I can certainly imagine the Catalans I have known doing this.
