Christmas!

Hi! now I will talk about the christmas in other Country: Germany! I will describe a little of their customs and celebration. Let's see!
In Germany the Christmas’s history begun when a apostle that try to convince a tribe of Germanic Druids that the oak tree wasn’t sacred, so he crushed every shrub in his path but a small fir sapling and people called it the tree of Christ child.
In Christmas children leave letters on their windowsills for Christkind, a winged figure dressed in white robes and a golden crown who distributes gifts. Sometimes the letters are decorated with glue and sprinkled with sugar to make them sparkle.
Germans make beautiful gingerbread houses and cookies. The German Christmas tree pastry, Christbaumgeback, is white dough that can be molded into shapes and baked for tree decorations.
To Germany the tradition of the Christmas tree is attributed to him to the initiated salary as it is known him in the present time, but its origin ancestral data of beliefs and customs. One adorns the house with Christmas reasons like trees, pyramids, and a little angel.
Every year, in the preceding weeks to the Christmas Eve, they cross the streets and side streets of the German cities the aroma of the toasted chestnuts, the hot wine with cinnamon and the rumors of the children and adults who take a walk by the streets decorated with lights. Each one knows that they are the days in which gifts are bought. The aroma to toasted chestnuts leads to the people to the seats where they are the Christmas swap-meets, and from the traveling positions the shouts of the salesmen are listened to: “Maronen, heiße Maronen! ”, Brown, brown I warm up.

Holidays!


Hi again! let's talk about the holidays, I chose to describe my favorite holiday, the Chinita's Fair



The Chinita's Fair starts a week before October 17th and goes along forthe whole week. It takes place in Maracaibo every year.

The devotion of the Chinita's Virgin started a long time ago when an old lady found a little board in the waters of Maracaibo's Lake that miraculously lighted up with the image of the Virgin Mary. Since that day the board has been kept on the Chiquinquira's Basilica.

The fair starts with the orchid's festival, continues with the bull's rodeo every day and it ends on october 18th with the gaita's done. In my family we celebrate Chinita's day in my house there we play domino and drink bear untill the sun rise the next day.

Due to the Chinita's Fair many people gain money because it's a really good period for the infomal commerce. It is a Festival that should stay on the years to come because it forms part of the zulian's folklore.


This is my favorite fair, please send me your opinion about wheter you like or not the publication and tellme your favorite holiday.
