It's a tradition in a small village in Spain. They jump the kids in a flat bed on the ground. All the babies born between last year's and the day.

I had never heard of the festivity nor had I heard about the place. Pop. is only 190 ppl in that place, so I doubt the kids even live in the place.

A couple of links to check this strange tradition:

It started in 1651 and it has been carried on until today. Cindy, you can't judge a whole country for a few people, oh well, maybe you're used to that.
