How was the Christmas when I was a kid?
Christmas began on December 7.
After leaving school, which was in late November and Christmas smell. However, the real Christmas for us started on 7 December. Several things happened that day. At night they lit candles and lanterns in front of the house was burnt a little powder and fireworks, a kind of dawn indicating that Christmas had already begun and is finally starting to put the crib .
Cike the houses were large and had not yet ecological sense, the manger occupied a large space in the house. Its raw material was tree branches, waxed paper, moss, stones, fountains and water. It cut branches from trees such as pine and coal, for environments. Placed in the crib houses, animals, roads, shepherds and sheep. In the background, under the branch of pine or coal, stood the barn and Ela the Virgin, St. Joseph, the cow and the ox.
The bonuses and the ninth.
The second important date of Christmas was on December 16, when starting the ninth child of God, which was held between 16 and 24 in the difhouses in the district authorities. There they sang carols and shared edible sweet corn, milk and sugar. Sometimes bidders, other than food, sweet wine offered to guests. At that time, dry wine was very low in Colombia and probably in all tropical developing countries. In the period between 16 and 24 are used to exchange gifts among friends and relatives, who called bonuses.
Christmas Eve.
The climax of Christmas was the night of December 24, called Christmas Eve. That day the children, burnt powder (fireworks), rising balloons, dancingat home and at 12 pm, the children ran to the bedroom to find the child brought God.
The crib was changed and they added a baby Jesus and three kings.
I personally did not enjoy much that day, because there were always fights between family members, children smoked their first cigarette and took the first drink of liquor. In my opinion it was a very pagan celebration, close to orgies. In fact, in September the following year, was the month where more children were born.
that day used to have a good meal at home, singing villancicos, finishing ninth and expect gifts. The rest was degrading: drunks, fights, scandals.
new year.
The other important date was 31 December. The celebration was very similar to the 24, but had no gifts for children. But like the 24 is burnt gunpowder and fireworks, music could be heard blaring, dancing and had an implied license to drink, smoke and fight. Reyes
Christmas ended on January 6, when the wise men came to the barn in a manger. The new wealthy families gave gifts to children and also hac & amp; iacute; to a family gathering at home, without the excesses of 24 and 31.
Something that was very typical on 6 January during the day, was to make a family outing, especially to a creek, to have a picnic, during which he was a typical meal a wood base.
changes today.
Today things have changed a bit. Thanks to the ecological sense we have gained, not cut trees or moss is used and therefore are not giant cribs. The cribs have been reduced to little ornaments, which are placed in the living room.
now can not miss in any home, however poor, a treeChristmas and Santa Claus is the main object to decorate them. A sudden change in habits, as they change the tradition of the crib, which is English and Italian, the other coming from northern Europe and is not Christian. Fortunately
is not common for children to burn gunpowder and fireworks, which was very dangerous and balloons have also disappeared, again, thank God, because many of them in their fall , fires occurred in homes, forests and pastures.
The custom of the candles on December 7 continues, but now the cities are illuminated with beautiful arrangements that are paid by the municipality. Medell & iacute, n is a city famed for its English-language Christmas lights.
De rest as usual. It follows the custom of the bonuses, the ninth and brought the baby Jesus, but now all children from 2 years knows that the gifts are bought dad.
During the 24 and 31 follows the license to sin and January 6 is still a very auspicious date for all types of rides.
So Christmas was celebrated before, and that is celebrated today. However, both before and today, Christmas retains its charm, especially in homes with children. Inglés
