In my country we have many holidays such as carnival,
holy week and Christmas. There holiday are very important celebrations in my
culture,but in my family our favorite holiday is Christmas. It's a big opportunity
that I have to get together with all my family every year. We enjoy doing
interesting things in these days. First, we prepare two typical dishes for
Christmas called “Hallaca and ham bread”. Their preparation process is
incredibly laborious and it involves the entire family. Second, we play secret
Santa and exchange gifts among the family members. This is very funny because I
can get or give beautiful gifts. Lastly, we listen to a traditional music
called “Gaita.” It is a Venezuelan folk music to listen only in December. In
summary, my family and I enjoy Christmas also we thank God to give us one more
year together and pray him for health to enjoy every year this traditional
holiday.


The food looks excellent...actually, I think all Venezuelan food looks good! A lot of people in Canada do secret Santa as well, especially in offices.
