Festive Letters Jingle Lives On
Christmas celebration does not stop on 25th December here in Puerto Rico, says Ernesto Rodriguez. It goes on for another 8 days after Christmas (the Octavus), past 3 Kings' Day, i.e. all the way to 6th January. So the Festive Letters Jingle should play on. Yes, that's the 12 days of Christmas. Ernesto thinks there should also be a Latin version of the Letters Jingle.
