Feliz Navidad…& Feliz Año Nuevo

Eileen , Carlyn and Kay were the real life Golden Girls! Best friends for years. They would travel together, went to shows & movies together, and they loved to shop together!


All three were on the lookout for post-holiday bargains, and Kay scored big on a stack of discounted Christmas cards one year. All of them agreed the cards were a steal! Kay was thrilled with her find, and she stashed them away for the next holiday season without a second thought.

The following Christmas, she excitedly retrieved the cards and began sending them out, spreading holiday cheer with gusto. However, it wasn't long before Eileen received her Christmas greeting and made a puzzled call to Kay.

It turns out, in her haste to snag a deal, Kay had overlooked one tiny detail—the cards were all in Spanish! Instead of "Merry Christmas," everyone received a hearty "Feliz Navidad! Feliz Año Nuevo!”

As friends and family called to inquire about the sudden switch to Spanish, Kay couldn't help but laugh at her oversight. She explained that she must have been caught up in the post-holiday frenzy and failed to notice the language difference.

The incident became a running joke among her friends. From then on, she made sure to double-check the language of any bargain she snagged, ensuring her holiday greetings were in English!
