CB Christmas

Hi everyone and Merry Christmas from somewhere in Northern Argentina! With the green grass and lots of palm tress, the Christmas spirit is MIA. But thats Ok because being so far away from family and friends it will pass like just another day. So have seconds on egg-nog and maybe pour a little extra gravy on those taters for me!

A long time ago, when Wanda was queen of the house I lived in, she put up a tree for Christmas and decorated it just so. One night when she was at work I replaced the angel at the top with this little Mexican devil I had. The red devil had a patch of grey rabbit fur for chest hair and putting him at the top of tree made me laugh. But not Wanda. She was having none of it.

So, in the spirit of Christmas, and annoying Wanda, here’s a little devil that lives down in a mine we visited in Potosi Bolivia. The miners bring him gifts of cigarettes, booze and coca leaves in hopes that he’ll help them find a fat vein of silver.  You can print out his picture and add it your own Nativity, then put shots of rum and cigarette buts around his feet. If he favors you, you might find some silver lining your clouds too.
