Everybody should put a Caganer in their own life!
I have found this funny expression somewhere in the internet, and I've decided to add it in Van der Bir's blog. I have no idea about why I've done it, but, probably, because I'm missing "my" Catalan Christmas.
A couple of days ago, I read something about a guy who was explaining how everywhere in Catalunya, my country, is tuning itself and becoming ready for Christmas time. I'm pretty sure that it happens in my place, but also in almost every country. But it is then, when you spend few month abroad, when you realize that, for example, Sinterklaas can be from Spain, but is not really yours (even if he was from Santa Pau), that Zwarte Piet (his black helpers) can be very funny, even if they are not black because of the chimney, but there is nothing compare with the Tió and the Caganer.
What can be better than a piece of wood, that you have to hit it if you want him "to poop" some presents? What can be better than a piece of wood that you have to hit while you are singing aloud what you want from him (he is supposed to be a male trunk)? What can be better than a piece of wood that you must feed with mandarins some days before his public humiliation? What can be better than a piece of wood that you hit, but with compassion, because we have short hitting breaks in which you can pray, you can wet your stick or whatever, to let him shit the presents?
And still more. What can be better than making a large manger recreating what happened 2008 years ago in Betlem with small figures? What can be better than one of these figures could be a man having shit behind a tree? What can be better than creating every year new celebrities pooping to add them to our manger?
Well, I don't really know what's the problem between Catalan people and shit at Christmas time. Perhaps, in the past, we had some bad harvests, and we decided to implement some subliminal elements in our Christmas traditions in order to improve the agricultural efficiency.
Who knows...

In english?? marketing dius? Ja t'has venut?? on anirem a parar...?!!
Nooo! No pilles el concepte Laia...!
Es tracta d'obrir nous mercats, nous fronts i ser més proper i global en aquest món tan competitiu. A més, no oblidis que d'aquesta manera els espanyols més rancis també el podran entendre (perquè el blog l'escric en un dialecte provincià, el català).
I a més, t'ho explico en primícia, la finalitat de tot això és poder acabar essent el blog de l'any, i a partir d'aquí vendre samarretes, gorres, bufandes, carcasses pel telèfon, pins i guardioles, tot sota el logo "Van der Bir". També crearia una gamma exclusiva pels wais, on podrien trobar flyers exclusius del Rotterdam dels 60', rotllets d'arròs fets amb farina de comerç just de Surinam, una guia dels locals underground de tot el Randstad, i com a producte estrella, butlletes per participar en el sorteig on podrien guanyar una "tarda wai" amb el tio més wai del moment: Van der Bir!
