During the Christmas vacations, while others have gone on vacation, I am at home but I have a lot of activities to do, I will try to make the most of the time by creating a memorable holiday experience.
Christmas is one of the most awaited and special times of the year, full of joy, love, peace and hope.
Christmas decorations are an important factor in Venezuelan Christmas traditions. The nativity scene is the representation of the modest enclosure in which the Baby Jesus was born. The Christmas tree is decorated with lights and ornaments, and under it are placed the gifts given by Baby Jesus.
At this time of the year, the first thing my family and I did was to make the Nativity Scene, which represents the birth of Jesus. In my house we love to build the crib with great detail, using ceramic or wooden figures and decorating every corner with moss, lights and other elements that give it a special and festive touch, in addition we decorate the house with lights and other Christmas decorations. I don't put up a Christmas tree because my cat is very restless and curious, so she can throw it on the floor.
The gaitas and aguinaldos are traditional musical styles performed during this season. The gaitas are joyful and festive songs, while the aguinaldos are Christmas songs that are sung in groups and performed in front of nativity scenes.
By tradition, the unborn child is covered until December 24 at midnight, it is at that time when people exchange gifts and the baby Jesus brings gifts to the children if they have behaved well during the year.
The rest of my vacations, together with my family, I will sing Christmas carols while sharing typical foods such as hallacas, ham bread, chicken salad and Christmas sweets. It is a time to show unity and fraternity, strengthen family ties and enjoy the company of our loved ones.
This vacation season I prioritize my well-being and value the time I spend with my loved ones. I will create memories and find joy in even the simplest activities.
Christmas is a time full of traditions, joy and fraternity. We share as a family, enjoy delicious typical dishes, and some of us decorate our homes with lights and ornaments, we also participate in events and activities that invite us to celebrate Christmas in a special way. The essence of Christmas lies in love, fellowship and solidarity with others, these values help us to live these dates with a spirit of peace and harmony.
May everyone in the Hive-Learners community spend the rest of your Christmas vacations in luxury with your family, friends, and loved ones and may all your good wishes and wishes be fulfilled soon. We are ready to enjoy this end of the year and the beginning of the next one with lots of joy, peace and hope. Best regards.
