A nativity scene in Colombia is called a pesebre and may feature a town and its surrounding countryside and animals.
Many homes put up a Christmas tree but the most authentic Venezuelan custom is to display a nacimiento (Nativity scene). A more sophisticated nacimiento is the pesebre. This represents an entire region with mountains, hills, plains and valleys. The central point is a replica of the manger at Bethlehem. The structure is a framework covered with canvas and painted accordingly. Often, the pesebre becomes a real work of art. Hope this helps :)
Bolivians have fun much like other countries do. Going out for pizza, going to movies, or just walking around the prado are some of things that people do in some of the major cities. On Saturday nights there are "Pena's", which are dinner and a show of local Bolivian music dancing and entertainment. Bolivians like to be with friends and family and sometimes sitting around a large table, playing cards or just chatting and laughing, is most often as pure and rewarding as any other activity for fun.
They celebrate it very similar to the U.S. They decorate their trees, hang stockings, spend time with family, and have big feasts which usually include most Chilean foods and others like Cola de Mono, a.k.a. Monkey's Tail, which is a drink that includes coffee, milk, and liquor. Another is Pan de Pascua and it is a sweet cake. They also have the same idea of Santa, which they call "Viejito Pascuero". He comes by sleigh with flying reindeer and comes down the chimney and leaves presents under the tree. Catholics go to Midnight Mass on Christmas Eve and to most Chileans value the nativity scene very greatly. They leave little clay figures called pesebre under their Christmas trees. So basically they celebrate it in many ways like Americans.
