Las Posadas
LATINOAMÉRICA Comienzan las celebraciones previas a Navidad Las fiestas navideñas resaltan la riqueza cultural de cada país latinoamericano, donde hay mezcla de tradiciones heredadas de Europa y costumbres locales. En México, el día 16 comienzan las “posadas”, en las que las familias simbolizan el peregrinaje de José y María. Hay procesiones, canciones y una mezcla de piñatas, luces y dulces. En la gastronomía destacan platillos tales como tamales, ponche de frutas y buñuelos. En Colombia comenzaron con el Día de las Velitas, el pasado día 7: familias y comunidades encienden velas y faroles en honor a la Virgen María. El día 16 inician la Novena de Aguinaldos, donde se cantan villancicos. En cuanto a los platos típicos están la natilla, los buñuelos y las empanadas de carne. En Perú son muy comunes las ferias de artesanía en las plazas de muchísimas ciudades. Uno de los lugares más antiguos es la feria conocida como Santurantikuy, en Cuzco, que se celebra desde el siglo XVI. En América del Sur, en Argentina o Chile, la Navidad coincide con el verano, por lo que las celebraciones se adaptan a un clima caluroso. El asado, unido a las ensaladas y al vitel toné es la cena principal en Argentina.
Feliz Navidad, Carlos! School was out for winter break. Carlos and his family packed to go to Monterrey, Mexico. "It's our first trip back since we moved to America," said Carlos. "I can't wait to see everyone!" Carlos sat by the window on the airplane. He saw clouds and blue sky. Then he saw the mountains around Monterrey. "We're almost there!" he said. Carlos's aunt, uncle, and cousins met them at the airport. "Feliz Navidad!" said his uncle. "You are home! This will be a wonderful celebration, now!" They had arrived in time to join in Las Posadas. Candles in paper bags lined the sidewalks. Neighborhood children acted out Mary and Joseph's journey to Bethlehem. Carlos, Selena, and Mateo walked the Posada with their cousins. They knocked on the first door. They sang a song and asked, "May we stay?" They were told "No." They knocked on the second door. They were told "No" again. They knocked on the third door. "Come in!" the neighbors said. A fiesta was inside! There were sweets and hot chocolate for everyone. There was even a piñata! "May I try to break the piñata?" Carlos asked. "I play baseball at my school. I can swing hard." Carlos was blindfolded. He hit the piñata and it split open! Treats and toys spilled out everywhere. They heard a boom and pop pop. "Fireworks!" Mateo yelled. Red, green, and blue lights filled the night sky. "It's so beautiful!" said his cousin. At midnight, the family walked to the old church. Inside, the dark church glowed from the light of candles. It was very quiet. Carlos watched the candles flicker all around him. Back at their uncle's home, they found more food and treats waiting for them. "This Navidad has been the best!" said Carlos. "We are lucky." "We can celebrate with our new friends in America and our family here in Mexico." Carlos, Selena, and Mateo were ready for sleep. But Selena remembered something. "Papa, when will we open our presents?" she asked. "We will each open one tomorrow, and the rest on January 6, Three Kings Day," Papa said. "I hope I get a calendar," Carlos said to Mama. "I'll put a star in December," said Carlos. "So I know when we'll come back for Navidad, again!"
