Cubans wear TOGAS at Christmastime??

December 19, 2008 By Marta Darby 5 Comments

Like so many other families, we like to send out a photo greeting card each year at Christmastime.

Unlike so many other families, there's never really any danger of us taking ourselves too seriously, but that's not important right now. =D

Christmas card
The photo is from Adam's birthday celebration earlier this year. I made good on my threat to use it for our Christmas cards. The postcard was created using Photoshop Elements 6.0 for the Mac.  The design is my own.

I'd love to send out a personal greeting to every single one of you, my faithful (and at times wacky) readers, who seem to totally "get" my offbeat sense of humor, but logistically that won't work out, so receive this cyber-greeting instead.

Merry Christmas to all of you from me and my big, fat, Cuban family.
We're glad you are in our lives.

Besos,
Marta

So, what do you think?  It kinda looks Christmassy in a madcap sort of way, doesn't it?    😉

    Gorgeous, of course! And I love the Latin theme….! Salvete, amici, et bonam diem natalem domini! Christus natus est! Gaudete! Gloria in excelsis Deo! Verbum caro factum est et habitavit in nobis! 🙂
