EL TIÓ...What is TIÓ?
Physically is a log with a typical Catalan hat (LA BARRETINA).The TIÓ comes to homes in early December, and the children give him some food (cookies, tangerines, oranges, ...). The next day, the children only find the peel of the fruit. On 24 December, at the family dinner, the children discover that the TIÓ after eating, has produced gifts of toys, clothes, food ...
First we have to sing a song:
TIÓ TIÓ, CAGA TURRÓ,
D'AQUELL TAN BO,
SI NO EN TENS MÉS,
CAGA DINERS,
SI NO EN TENS PROU,
CAGA UN OU.
The pictures show the children from Escola Forn D`Anells finding El Tió.And he is later placed under their Christmas tree in the school.
