The conquest in America began a mixture of cultures of the most awesome in human civilization, clashed three cultures as different as the geography of which they came; African, Native American and white Europeans; Each one of them with innate traditions, this creates a very characteristic context in the society that emerges after this (Americans). Venezuela was then the starting point of this cultural mix and therefore we can talk about an exclusively mixed culture, this is reflected in celebrations like Christmas that was brought mainly from the conquest with the so-called "heavy burden of White man" that consists in "acculturate "to the rest of the world that by then was considered savage, in this way indigenous representations like the" Hallaca "are strained in the process, to other of the African ones, forming our Christmas broth of cultivation.
