Southern Europe (mostly around Catalonia) has a similar curiosity which has after 100s of years become a tradition: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caganer

I wonder which cultural oddities today will be commonly accepted 100 years from now, or whether the globalization will eventually homogenize such local customs, so instead of "memes" living locally for 100s of years they get global exposure and die out within a month.
