Before Santa comes, I want to make you aware of some facts about that guy… A lot of people say that he is “invented by Coca Cola Company”. Last year, I did a little research about that, and I want to dig it out today again:

Long story short: No, he’s not. But Coca Cola also has to do something with him… If you’re curious, check it out :)

We come closer to the end… and honestly, I am getting out of stuff :P
But I still have something nice here for you… this time let’s get Spanish!!

Who doesn’t know the song “Feliz Navidad“? Which means in Spanish “Merry Christmas”. Probably nobody, but I anyway want to share this with you. I know a lot of Spanish speaking people and last year I have been to Mexico to celebrate Christmas with my girlfriend there. And I got impressed by the Mexican way of celebrating Christmas… Back then, I wrote a blog post about it: http://blog.alcatraz.lu/2009/01/07/mexico-december-2008-part-two/

I hope you enjoy my experience back 1 year ago and of course this video of José Feliciano singing “Feliz Navidad” ;)
