A swarm of biting fish injured more than 70 people who were bathing at a popular beach in Argentina on Christmas, said a medical official on Thursday.

A seven-year-old girl had her finger partially amputated and dozens more suffered bite wounds on their extremities.

Director of emergency services in Rosario says the biting fish is a relative of the piranha called "palometas".

The attack happened off the popular beaches of the Parana River near Rosario, 186 miles north of Buenos Aires, where many Argentines were seeking relief from a heat wave over the holiday.

Christmas arrives in Barcelona and with the usual festive figurines comes a strange Catalan tradition that of the “caganer” or “pooper”.

Traditionally, a caganer shows a peasant wearing a red beret and a white blouse bending over and going to the toilet, but in recent years an array of popular characters and celebrities have also been captured with their pants down with nobody being spared.

“I think it’s incredible. It’s funny. I’ve never heard of it and I think we should really start bringing it to America because it’s a great tradition.”

The figurines are often placed under bridges, behind haystacks or in the nativity scene… the choice of Barcelona’s midfielder Fabregas.

“My caganer has been in our nativity for three years now. My grandmother found it somewhere and bought it. It’s a very beautiful tradition and we have to keep it.”

Yes, because nothing beats a figurine of yourself squatting behind the manger.
