| I remember Brazilian greeting cards saying "Boas Festas" since FOREVER |
|
Edited on Wed Dec-22-04 05:00 PM by Commie Pinko Dirtbag
Literal translation: "Good Parties," or "Good Celebrations."
More correct translation: (gasp) HAPPY HOLIDAYS.
You know, because there's that thing one week after Christmas, I forget what it is.
From the 50's at the VERY least. For all I know the very first printing press in Brazil in the 18th century may have printed those too.
I just felt the unexplainable urge to share this little bit of information.
Edit: fell -> felt

| 2. Brazilians celebrate alot, so maybe it's so they don't have to print |
|
