Home dels nassos (, ) is a character in Catalan myths and legends. Home dels nassos is translated as "Man of the noses". The legend says that, on New Year's Eve, this man walks the streets and has as many noses on his face as there are days left in the year. In this way, children of Catalonia are led to believe that there is a man with 365 noses, but of course, being the last day of the year, he conveniently and ironically has only one.

Famous quotes containing the word home:
“That, of course, was the thing about the fifties with all their patina of familial bliss: A lot of the memories were not happy, not mine, not my friends’. That’s probably why the myth so endures, because of the dissonance in our lives between what actually went on at home and what went on up there on those TV screens where we were allegedly seeing ourselves reflected back.”
—Anne Taylor Fleming (20th century)
