Julio Iglesias' Christmas cards from 2008 featured his children from his most recent marriage, but what about Enrique? I guess he does his own thing from the holidays.

I did not know, but apparently Julio Iglesias’s Christmas cards are famous around the world. I guess his celebrity and fame has not really diminished in the last few years and I say this because I was surprised to see Iglesias’s 2008 Christmas cards online while looking for a particular song’s lyrics. This story goes on and on about Julio’s tarjetas de Navidad and how this year in particular he chose a photo card that included his younger kids – Miguel, Alejandro, Victor, Cristina, Guillermo, and the family pets. But odd enough, the holiday cards don’t feature any of his older somewhat famous stock – Enrique, Julio, or Chabeli.

Don’t get me wrong, I’m old enough to be a fan, but I really did not realize how Christmas, celebrity-hood, and a simple gesture as a holiday card can be so important in some circles. I’m glad to see that the spirit is alive and how even the more famous among us have a soft spot for Christmas and pictures of their own little ones.

Fortunately for me, at my age I don’t have little ones anymore to include in my Christmas cards, but I like the idea of my doggie Max taking center stage on my next cards. I admit Max is not much to look at, but we don’t bring looks up between pals…I might loose that contest anyway.
