I had a wonderful time writing this Latino version of 12 Days of Christmas with my bloggy buddy Meeko Fabulous. It’s our way of wishing you:
Feliz Navidad, Prospero Año, y Felicidad!
Feliz Navidad, back at you!
This is hilarious, and took me back to my Nana’s kitchen during the Christmas holiday. as a new follower, mami, wife, news journalist, I say gracias!
hilarious! merry christmas, chica! ;~D xoxoxox
Thanks for the Spanish lesson. It was fun.
Same to you & yours! I hope 2011 is a wonderful year, full of miracles for your family.
I love it – so original! Feliz Navidad!!!
Feliz Navidad – love chiles rellenos – you’re making me hungry
Hahahahahaha, butt spankings!
Awesome! I love having a different version – and I could actually recognize a few of these thank to Little Miss’s Spanish homework I’ve been doing with her (heaven help me). I may have to sing this to her – or have my husband do it since he actually speaks Spanish as opposed to my mangling of words and pronunciations!
Adorable! Feliz Navidad to you too:)
You had me at “parrot in an avocado tree”– This was fabulous. Now if you could just get Saturday Night Live to do a skit with it 🙂
Merry Christmas, xo jj
LMAO….love it!
ugh I hate salted plums.
My husband has been teaching me Spanish and I’m happy to say that I didn’t need any of your translations. I’m going to send this to him. He’ll get a kick out of it.
Feliz Navidad, bonita amiga.
