I confess that I was unaware of this tradition.

Ceramic figurines called ‘caganers’ of US President-elect Barack Obama are seen at the Santa Llucia Fair, on December 2, in Barcelona. Statuettes of well-known people defecating are a strong Christmas tradition in Catalonia, dating back to the 18th century.

We will be getting dumped on for the next four years.
