## *Christmas is coming*</center>

#
<div class="text-justify">

We are already at the end of September, and with it, we are getting closer and closer to the Christmas season and the celebrations that mark the end of a year to welcome a new year.

Within the Western Judeo-Christian tradition, Christmas represents a very important holiday, besides being a propitious date for family reunion, joy for the achievements of the year, and also for personal reflection. For these reasons, it should come as no surprise that in many countries and cultures around the world, it is customary to celebrate these dates with rituals, foods and drinks exclusive for this occasion, and that are not usually found or consumed in the rest of the year.

In Venezuela, among the typical dishes that usually accompany the Christmas holidays, is the *hallaca*, which is basically a cake made with corn flour dough seasoned with chicken broth and pigmented with onoto, a dye and seasoning also known in other countries as achiote, which is filled with a stew based on beef, pork, chicken, stuffed with a stew based on beef, pork and chicken, to which olives, raisins, capers, paprika and onion are added, among other ingredients that may vary according to the region, and then wrapped in a rectangular shape in banana leaves, which is tied with a wick and cooked in boiling water before being served at the table, and which bears some resemblance to the tamale of Mexico and Central America. 

This dish is part of the Venezuelan unconscious, and allows to unite everyone, regardless of race, creed or political affiliation, around its preparation and subsequent tasting, being the most extraordinary integrating element within the diversity of our country.

The origin of this dish dates back to the years of the colonization of the territory by the Spaniards, XV and XVI century, being attributed in legendary form its invention to the slaves and indigenous servants, who collected the remains of meals to assemble a heterogeneous dish that served them as extra food.

> *Ya nos encontramos a finales del mes de septiembre, y con ello, nos acercamos cada vez más a la temporada navideña y las celebraciones propias de esta época que marca el final de un año para dar la bienvenida a un año nuevo.*
>
> *Dentro de la tradición judeo-cristiana occidental, la Navidad representa una festividad muy importante, además de ser una fecha propicia para el reencuentro familiar, la alegría por los logros alcanzados durante el año, y también, para la reflexión personal. Por estas razones, no debe causar sorpresa que en muchos países y culturas alrededor del mundo, se acostumbra a celebrar estas fechas con rituales, comidas y bebidas exclusivas para esta ocasión, y que no suelen encontrarse o consumirse en el resto del año.*
>
> *En Venezuela, dentro de los plato típicos que suelen acompañar a las fiestas navideñas, se encuentra la *hallaca* , que consiste básicamente en un pastel elaborado con masa de harina de maíz sazonada con caldo de gallina o de pollo y pigmentada con onoto, un colorante y condimento conocido también en otros países como achiote, que se rellena con un guiso a base de carne de res, cerdo y gallina o pollo, al cual se le agregan aceitunas, uvas pasas, alcaparras, pimentón y cebolla, entre otros ingredientes que pueden variar de acuerdo a la región, para luego ser envuelta de forma rectangular en hojas de plátano, la cual es atada con pabilo y cocida en agua hirviendo antes de servirla en la mesa, y que guarda cierto parecido con el tamal de México y Centroamérica.*
>
> *Este platillo forma parte del inconsciente venezolano, y permite unir a todos, sin distinción de raza, credo o filiación política, alrededor de su preparación y posterior degustación, siendo el más extraordinario elemento integrador dentro de la diversidad de nuestro país.*
>
> *El origen de este plato se remonta a los años de la colonización del territorio por parte de los españoles, Siglo XV y Siglo XVI, atribuyéndose en forma legendaria su invención a los esclavos y sirvientes indígenas, quienes recogían los restos de comidas para armar un plato heterogéneo que les sirviese de alimento extra.*</div>

This selection of photographs correspond to the process of preparing last year's hallacas, which my sister and I made at our mother's house, to share at Christmas Eve and New Year's Eve dinners.

As I have described in previous publications, I use the image editing tools offered by **Picsart** and **Snapseed** applications to modify at my convenience and pleasure the original images, looking for a result up to my expectations, which I do not always achieve, however, I hope you like them as much as I do.

> *Esta selección de fotografías corresponden al proceso de preparación de hallacas del año pasado, que mi hermana y yo realizáramos en casa de nuestra madre, para compartir en las cenas de Nochebuena y de Fin de Año.*

> *Como he descrito en publicaciones anteriores, empleo las herramientas de edición de imágenes que me ofrecen las aplicaciones **Picsart** y **Snapseed** para modificar a mi conveniencia y entero placer las imágenes originales, buscando un resultado a la altura de mis expectativas, lo cual no siempre logro, sin embargo, espero que estas les agraden tanto como a mí.*</div>
