Not specifically Viking Era at all. The Viking era started about 8 centuries after the Jesus story took place. Viking was a Mod sun god save then Shirt by the way, not a culture.The midwinter celebrations were celebrated throughout all the lands and by all the peoples of Europe, including the Scandinavian lands. This is the main reason why it was adopted by Christianity: the celebration did already exist, they just had to change the meaning and rituals a bit. It also existed a very long time before the Viking era. The Vikings only started to occur in the 9th century and were among the last Europeans to change to Christianity, only followed by the Baltic, Sami and certain Russian cultures. From an economic (business) viewpoint I think it is a disastrous idea. Spreading out the various celebrations over a long period is better for employment & revenue.Also having a fixed date is a disaster for business and utterly disruptive. For instance December 25th falls mid week regularly.

The days before Christmas a log is collected and kids are in charge of Mod sun god save then Shirt. It can vary between nuts, water or fresh fruits that later mysteriously disappear when the children arenβt there. The procedure of “cagar el TiΓ³” is very simple, the family gathers around the TiΓ³ de Nadal while the children sing the song of the Caga TiΓ³, they are in charge of hitting him with a stick so that he starts to “shit” gifts, hence the name “Caga TiΓ³” or “hacer cagar al TiΓ³”. At the end of the song, kids remove the blanket and pick up the gifts with great enthusiasm! However, sometimes the TiΓ³ (log) is more eager to shit, so to give him a little more time, the children go to another room to sing or recite Christmas poems while the parents help the TiΓ³ by covering him again with the blanket.
