Christmas Con Maduro

When Christmas emphasizes “commerce, activity, culture, carols,” plus “dancing and traditional foods,” its holy essence can get lost in the shuffle.  Politicians and shopkeepers might then milk the hubbub for all it's worth.  They may even decide to lengthen the overall season.

Claiming to defend the Venezuelans' “right to happiness,” President Nicolas Maduro decreed that Christmas 2025 shall begin on October 1st.  One recipient commented that a prolonged and ghoulish Halloween might be more reflective of the general mood.
