things used to be also like Spain in the southern hemisphere at my parent´s time. Nowadays most of the families that can do it runaway from the cities in the first days of January. It seems Reyes Magos festivity is not so important when you are not already in your home.
also other festivities surged or re-surged for the months of june-july (beyond the patriotic ones) some of them old (inti raymi) some new (friend´s day). That´s great!.

& salud Papa Noel!!!!!!!!! (you can´t hate at all a masoquist with good intentions )

Hard campaign against Dad Noel in Spain
0 comments e-mail printing They accuse it of capitalist.
"Already the Kings come, by the sand, already they bring the boy, a rich diaper". The famous Christmas carol has left to be complied in many homes of Spain, where little by little, Dad Noel goes eating land to the Kings Magicians. These days, an aggressive campaign tries to convince the Spaniards that maintain their traditions and they celebrate this year "a Christmas without Dad Noel".

   Melchor, Gaspar and Baltasar they were who long ago, in fact for hundreds of years, they took charge of carrying the gifts to all the small the 6 January, that had breakfast the traditional ringcake of Kings while opened the gifts. But with those children become parents, each time there are more homes in which the Spanish tradition has left step to the northerner.

   Desde some years ago, the figure of Dad Noel has become all a "hit" in a country of catholic majority. In many balconies they hang now you figure of a great Saint Claus that climbs with its bag. In the parlors or in the recipients of many homes, the fir of Christmas (real or of plastic) has replaced the Bethlehem or Birth with José and María, the Boy and the Three Kings Magicians, that carry Jesus gold, incense and myrrh.

   En this open competition between two traditions, the gifts that the small expect hopefully are in the 30 percent of the cases, according to the surveys, those of Dad Noel, whether December 24 at night, after the copious supper of Christmas Eve in family, or the 25 in the morning, before another not less copious food of Christmas.

   Y is that Holy Claus has the advantage that does not come from East, and its arrival since the north of Europe advances in almost two weeks to that of the Magicians. And thus, toys and other gifts enjoy a lot more before returning to the school after the European holidays of Christmas.

   Los Kings Magicians "are the legitimate representatives of the magic of Christmas", assures the campaign "By a Christmas without Dad Noel", that does not spare in criticisms and loss of prestige to the man of the red suit that in the north lands is strained in the houses by the chimneys but in Spain he is not known very either for where does he enter to the homes.

   La platform seems been successful, because its web page (www.yosoydelosreyesmagos.com) received more than 30,000 visits in its first two days and has jumped even to the press.

   El Dad Noel that describes he has a hidden face that the Spaniards that gave sideways to the Kings Magicians seem not to have discovered: "The Dad toys factory Noel in Finland contaminates and helps to the global warming-up", they assure their opponents. Is "a badly dietary example for the youth".


Capitalist example

   Los Kings Magicians are completely different. To come to leave the gifts in the shoes of the children the night from the 5 to January 6 "are in form". Besides, in these disordered times in which in Spain bud of racism have been given, they represent all "an example of multirracialidad and integration".

   Para to discredit Dad Noel all is worth. In streets of Madrid placards with the phrase have appeared "Fucking fat rascal". Last week, a group of strangers was strained in the zoological one of the Spanish capital to show that the reindeer do not fly, but is a matter of another swindle of the man of the beard and the red suit. And yesterday, a group was declared set against the embassy of Finland in Madrid to ask the closing of the Dad contaminant factory Noel.

   Hasta there is a rap in circulation in which three Kings Magicians with chains and sunglasses skewer to Holy Claus with a "¿You who coño you are?". "Believe you that are In the crest of the wave and that pajamas Coca-Cola designed it?", they sing.

   Con this panorama, this year the followers of Dad Noel will have to be thought well who do they invite to their houses. But there it will be that to say something in favor of the potbellied one: to the contrary that the Kings Magicians, he does not leave coal to the children that carried themselves badly along the year.

. The easy-going man of the great belly and the gray beard seems to have become all an example of the worst capitalism one and the most battle-hardened globalization. "It continues the smell of the money" and "exploits its elves submitting them to subhuman labor situations". To show it two of them in the web page are entrusted, in which throw plagues of their leader. l
