log), is a character in Catalan
mythology relating to

keeping it warm and feeding it,
so that it will defecate
presents on Christmas Day or
Eve.

bears festival' takes place
every December, starting
in the days before
Christmas and ending
with New Year's Eve.
Hundreds of bear-
costumed people of all
ages roam villages and
towns while dancing to
the deafening sound of
drums.

of lighting candles the night
of December 7
