My kids and I have had the fun opportunity to review “The Christmas Poop Log” story book and activity set that’s not only fun, but super quirky.

The storybook is beautifully told and illustrated, while the DIY poop log brings the story to life (And my kids couldn’t stop laughing when making the poop log).

What Is The Christmas Poop Log Tradition About?

The Christmas Poop Log centers around a Christmas Tradition celebrated in the Catalonia region in Northern Spain, and it goes back to the 18th century.

Family members go out into the wilderness and find the perfect poop log, bring it home, dress him in festive attire, and name him “Caga Tió”.

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!

Is The Christmas Poop Log Activity Set Hard To Put Together?

The Poop Log activity set comes with all the essentials to make Caga Tió come to life, and is so easy to put together that my two kids assembled it in under 5 minutes!

Below is a TikTok of my kids putting The Christmas Poop Log together. My youngest stated that Caga Tió reminded her of Forky from Toy Story 4.

This kit makes a great gift not only for kids, but for adults as well ( it makes an epic White Elephant gift ).

Is The Christmas Poop Log Sustainable?

The Christmas Poop Log that goes along with the book is indeed eco-friendly, and the author, Jonathan Chastek, is making sure of that!

“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 at the forefront.”

The author hopes that Caga Tió will become a part of every family’s holiday tradition, and be stowed away with holiday décor and utilized for many years to come.

Where Can I Purchase The Christmas Poop Log?

The entire activity set can be purchased on the author’s website (it isn’t yet available on Amazon).

However, if you’re interested in purchasing only the story book, that is available on Amazon, click here to shop for it on Amazon.

Lastly, the tradition has recently been adopted by families and celebrities alike who appreciate its silliness and fun factor including famed former Saturday Night Live Star, Comedian and Actor, Kate McKinnon.

So is The Christmas Poop Log a great buy? Absolutely. I think it’s a fun new Christmas Tradition that every parent should start with their kids. We have our Caga Tió sitting under our tree, and my kids love feeding him cookies until the big day!
