The conquest in America began a mixture of cultures of the most awesome in human civilization, clashed three cultures as different as the geography of which they came; African, Native American and white Europeans; Each one of them with innate traditions, this creates a very characteristic context in the society that emerges after this (Americans). Venezuela was then the starting point of this cultural mix and therefore we can talk about an exclusively mixed culture, this is reflected in celebrations like Christmas that was brought mainly from the conquest with the so-called "heavy burden of White man" that consists in "acculturate "to the rest of the world that by then was considered savage, in this way indigenous representations like the" Hallaca "are strained in the process, to other of the African ones, forming our Christmas broth of cultivation. In Venezuela Christmas has always been synonymous with joy and family union, this combined with culinary traditions and our human warmth (perhaps synonymous with a lot of permissiveness of our society) make the month of December the most expected and cheerful of the year. Now, we know the existence of an economic crisis in this country, but how are Christmas different from past years to this and even the past?

Today Venezuela can be defined as "an eternal queue", as a result of the bad economic policies exerted by the national executive it is necessary to talk about the sustained and prolonged shortage of food and medicines, besides the Excessively under the purchasing power of the Venezuelan, then add and we will obtain a country a Christmas with empty tables more than everything, but besides, it is worth limiting the massive exodus of the Venezuelan people to neighboring countries, which makes that in a family table in which they were to add Chairs for an entire family to enter now the best thing is to eliminate some "to not see empty", this may even be the strongest blow to Venezuelan Christmas. (approximately 3 million Venezuelans have migrated since 2012 and this is aggravated by taking into account that 30% of the current population is preparing the papers to leave)

As an unprecedented fact in Venezuela (the country with the largest oil reserves in the world) This December has been characterized by the shortage of fuel for vehicles situation that promises to worsen in the coming months, coupled with this is the transport crisis Public of which little is spoken but compared to the previous year you can talk about that (1) Has less than half of the units (2) The Automotive Park possesses an average antiquity of 40 years approximately (3) The auto parts no longer reach the country. This makes an odyssey move in the South American nation.

The bolivar has a huge devaluation and therefore in recent months seem somewhat depressed because now it is difficult to see it through the streets (cash is scarce enough) which makes a country like Venezuela with a general crisis depend on the Electronic transactions.

A little serious is the situation of this Christmas, the only thing that seems to encourage the Venezuelan citizen is a vision, that probably the turning point is closer than ever. One can infer then that it is to be there the great blessing of this Christmas, the psychic blow this time to be superior, and the possibility of being born now the true will of change seems imminent in the country, the collective conscience, because undeniably the Problem was always cultural.
