  • Description of the Project:
  • Puerto Rico celebrates Christmas from Thanksgiving to San Sebastián Street Festival in January. That’s a total of 59 days. So, how’s it possible that the country with the longest Christmas in the world, also has the shortest Christmas song in the world?
    “Feliz Navidad” (Merry Christmas) by Puerto Rican José Feliciano only has one verse. That’s it.
    Because of this, Heineken asked people to help make a longer Merry Christmas. All they had to do was write a new verse and then have the guts to sing it by phone.
