Outstanding, Leonardo,

I cannot translate the script. In fact, beyond guessing it might be Japanese, why not Korean too? Nice to see your family together.

Great wishes to you and everyone for 2010!

Yoi Otoshi o = Have a Good Year. / Japanese

Feliz = Happy / Spanish

Asher, it is a Latin Japanese family, so we threw in the English, that way we send one card to our friends in the anglophone Spanish Japanese speaking world...

Grate wishes to you too. And another fantastic year
