Times have changed so much, in all senses where the traditions of the advanced generations clash with what the new generations, I say, as if they already have it established in their cells.

This is because the story of the Baby Jesus with which many of us grew up, at least in our country Venezuela, has been modified year after year where children only say Santa or Santa Claus as if they belonged to Nordic countries.

A grandmother was talking to her 7 and 3 year old grandchildren, the 7 year old read the letters where he begins his entrance greeting Santa and the grandmother says: What Santa? is the Baby Jesus, where I say: Have you not noticed? Even in schools they only talk about Santa? It is comical to imagine that grandmother saying that to the grandchildren, I imagine the faces of the children wondering to themselves: What is my grandmother talking about, who is the Child I am talking about?

So proudly the 7 year old boy reads the letter from him and his little sister with the endless list of requested toys of the latest generation, tables, hearing aids, etc, etc.

It is a matter of looking at their faces when an aunt/grandmother tells them and what happened? Where did they leave the Baby Jesus? the story of Santa vs. the Baby Jesus returns.

The aunt/grandmother adds that Santa and Baby Jesus are allies, they work together because the number of children in the world is very large and they are distanced from each other. The children pass their hands over their little faces as if to tell this aunt of mine what story she is telling...to all this the children's mother never intervenes, which makes the children's grandmother very upset, because she defends the existence of the Child and the formation in family values that she considers do not give her the support as such.

The grandmother says : just gifts and that's it... what future of the world these children without a minimum of humanism.

A total contradiction for the children and all that society and globalization have generated. The grandmother says: then they are children who will only think about consumerism, they will not think because everything is a technological language, with the touch of a button they think they will get everything. Ohhh, what a gray world awaits us with these children becoming adults...will they plant a plant? Will they take care of animals? Will they care about giving a hug? As far as I can see only what's important to them will be parties, drinks and ya...

Ooohhhh, what a sad world

Ooohhhh, what a sad world of thinking it hurts me.....

grandma, by that time you will be gone...we won't walk...we will fly.

Ooohhhhh, how sad grandma says, to this the grandson laughs at grandma's stuff.

He takes her hands and gives her a hug. They end up smiling even though they imagine the world without taking into account the Baby Jesus and only Santa or Santa Claus is heard.

Hello friend. Merry Christmas, I hope you had a great time, I liked the approach and focus of your story, although I think the name change and the union of some Christmas traditions is the inevitable consequence of a globalized and modern world where everything is communicated in the digital age, culture does not escape this modernity and children much less, so you just have to understand that it is evolution of universal thought, call it Santa Claus or Baby Jesus always the important thing will be the value of family togetherness and the spirit of Christmas. A big hug.

Yes, that's right. Globalization is a term that has been around for a long time in the management world and many people in these times still do not adapt to understand why this culture has been generated.

Thank you, thank you very much

Of course you are right! What a sad world, what a sad place that doesn’t make space for baby Jesus. But, but…it’s our responsibility to pass the message on; it cannot be lost if we remember.

Yes, even if the boom of years ago is Santa, you have to make the Baby Jesus and what it means.
Thank you, thank you very much

A story with quite marked social criticism, well, maybe all this is right, but that important figure in different cultures cannot be missing.

Of course, we cannot ignore traditions from other areas, but we must highlight our own.

Thank you, thank you very much

Un cuento de reflexión donde percibo la intención de reconocernos en la globalización pero sin dejar de perder la mágica e inocencia de las culturas transmitidas a los niños. En esta era es importante ellos conozcan el antes y durante de nuestras tradiciones dándole la posiblidad de disertar entre lo que les es convincente y agradable a sus oídos e imaginación. Compartiré tus con mi sobrinita quien me acaba de confesar quien trae los regalos 😋. Felices fiestas mi bella @mercmarg ✨❤✨

Que bueno.

Si, es un asunto que tenemos que hay que prestar atención para que las nuevas generaciones reconozcan el por qué de los personajes.

Gracias por darle valor a mi escrito.
