Veezuela is both an Amazonian, Andean, and Caribbean country. Most od the population is located in the north, either un the Andean highlands or along the Caribbean coast. As with other Latin American countries, there is no association with Christmas and cold weather. The country is largely Catholic. Thus Christmas traditions are primarily Catholic, although in recent years more commercial and secular traditions, often from America have become important. Since the election of Hugo Chavez, Benezuela has taken a strong turn toward Socialism. It is unclear how this in the long run will affect the Catholic Church and Christian celebrations like Christmas. Chavez clearly wants to remake Venezuela in the Cuba image, whether the Veezuelan people will accept this remains to be seen. Hopefully Venezuelan readers will tell us more about their Christmas traditions.
