The world’s attention on Venezuela has been focused in the last weeks on the fallout from a highly contested presidential election that both the ruling party and its opponents claim to have won, the ensuing persecution of critics and the arrest warrant against the former opposition presidential candidate.
But as political tensions escalate, President Nicolás Maduro decided there was a more important matter to discuss: Christmas and the need to kick off the jolly season a tad early this year. In October, to be precise.
“It’s September, and it already smells like Christmas,” Maduro said Monday night during his weekly television show.
“That’s why this year, as a way of paying tribute to you all, and in gratitude to you all, I’m going to decree an early Christmas for October 1.”
But not everyone seems eager to start singing Christmas carols.
“Christmas is supposed to be a time of joy, family reunions, parties, presents,” José Ernesto Ruiz, a 57-year-old office worker, said Tuesday in Caracas, the capital.
“(But) without money and with this political crisis, who can believe that there will be an early Christmas?”
This is not the first time that Maduro, in power since 2013, has declared the early arrival of Christmas. He did so during the COVID-19 pandemic, but never this early.

Maybe he should declare that everyone’s birthday is on the same date. That way it is difficult to forget someone’s birthday.
Next the Official Language of Venezuela will be Swedish.
So that means two additional months of having to endure hearing “All I Want For Christmas Is You”.
What a (sick) joke.
And everyone will change their underwear every day. Underwear will be worn on the outside so it can be checked.
(Or however that bit goes. Long time since I saw that movie.)
Sound familiar from the DNC convention?
This is what happens when you vote based on cult of personality. Chavez was the gateway to this guy.
And pumpkin spice.
This sounds somehow familiar.

He will speak against the Most High and oppress his holy people and try to change the set times and the laws. The holy people will be delivered into his hands for a time, times and half a time.
