Los Reyes Magos de Oriente ya casi han llegado al portal de Belén...
The Three Wise Men have nearly arrived at the stable at Bethlehem...
... y esta noche traerán los regalos de Navidad a los niños aquí en España... and tonight, Spanish children will receive their Christmas presents by them
Me encanta hacer el Belén. Tenía muy claro que cuando me fuera a vivir a mi propio piso (hace ya cinco años), seguiría haciéndolo... tuviera o no tuviera niños (que no tengo), con pareja o sin pareja (que sí tengo)...
I love making the Nativity. I was very sure that when I lived in my own house (for five years now), I will be making it... with or without children (I don't have any), with or without a partner (I have one)...
La Anunciación: / The Annunciation:
Antes de empezar a hacerlo, preparo todo lo que necesito: figuras, papel de plata, musgo y, lo más importante, guantes (para limpiar el musgo) e insecticida!!!! jejeje, no sería la primera vez que me encuentro a algún "monstruo" arrastrante....
Before making it, I prepare everything I need: figures, aluminium foil, moss and, the most important, gloves (to clean the moss) and insecticide!!! hahaha, it wouldn't be the first time that I find some crawling "monsters"...
El típico caganer catalán:
The typical Catalan figure "caganer". It could be translated into English as "shitter"... yes, it's literally that, a peasant that is defecating... The origins of this figure could be humorous, or it's also a symbol of prosperity and good luck, as he is fertilizing the Earth.
Espero que paséis una buena noche, y que os traigan muchas cositas!!!
I hope you enjoy it, and, it they come to your home, that they bring you lots of presents!!!
