The Christmas Poop Log Story Book and Activity Set is back for the 2023 holiday season after gaining abundant popularity since its release in 2021.
The past two years has brought much success for the kitschy gift for kids and families as a fun and sustainable way to countdown to Christmas while embracing a beloved, old-world Spanish folklore.
The beautiful, color illustrated, thirty-one-page paperback titled, The Christmas Poop Log: A Christmas Tradition story book is available on Amazon now for an affordable $15.95. The Christmas Poop Log Story Book and Activity set bundle is also available on www.TheChristmasPoopLog.com
It’s interactive and creates family time.
The Activity Set complete with wooden log and dowels, Santa hat, felt blanket, paint set, glue, and googly eyes makes a great gift for kids, ages 3 and up. Many have expressed joy in building and designing the log together, reading the book, singing the corresponding song, and feeding their Poop Log each day leading up to Christmas.
Many have purchased the advent-calendar type gift for their own families, crafters, or as a white elephant, or Pollyanna exchange for anyone who loves a laugh.
It’s steeped in tradition.
The whole family will adore this fun and educational cultural experience that centers around a Christmas tradition celebrated in the Catalonia region in Northern Spain with roots in the 18th century.
The practice of finding the perfect poop log in the wilderness reflects the American tradition of finding the perfect tree. Once the one that’s ‘just right’ is found near the 8th of December, it is brought into the home and accessorized by its new family with an illustrated face, felt hat and other festive attire and propped on smaller logs as front “legs.” A cozy blanket is then laid on “Caga Tió,” as it is affectionately called.
Every day, family members “feed” Caga Tió with fruits and nuts until December 24th. It is then that Caga Tió is tapped with sticks while the family sings a corresponding song asking it to “poop” presents!
It’s the first time the tradition has been brought to life in a book and toy!
After traveling to Spain several years ago and becoming fascinated by the tradition, entrepreneur and first-time author Jonathan Chastek created the book and activity set to bring the endearing tradition to American families in an accessible way by selling the logs as a ready-to-assemble complete kit versus collecting the log outdoors.
It’s eco-friendly and is a gift that gives back.
“Because the tradition is rooted in nature, a tree will be planted for every purchase through our partnership with OneTreePlanted,” says Chastek, “I very much want to keep sustainability and love for our planet at the forefront of our mission.”
He continues, “It’s my hope that this fun, cultural tradition will be embraced by many this season. The activity set, with the book included to tell the story, is a great way to spend time together and bring holiday cheer and laughter.”
He hopes that Caga Tió will become a part of every family’s holiday tradition. Once created, the log can be stowed away with holiday décor and embraced for years to come.
It’s adored by celebs.
The tradition has recently been adopted by families and celebrities alike who appreciate its silliness and fun factor including “Weird Barbie” comedian and actor, Kate McKinnon.
