Creepy Christmas Card: Nothing Says “Happy Birthday, Jesus!” Like a Leopard Devouring a Deer

San Juan mayor Jorge Santini’s family Christmas cards come with the saying, “Que esta Navidad ilumine tu sueño,” which translates to “May this Christmas light your dream” in English.

After taking one look at this, a more appropriate saying might be: “May this Christmas haunt your dream.” Nothing says the birth of Jesus quite like a leopard devouring a deer in front of your smiling family.

Little known fact: That little girl on the left is also a taxidermist’s creation.

Santini defended the unusual card by saying he wanted to promote el Museo de Vida Silvestre (Museum of Wildlife), posing for five different shots around the museum, according to El Nuevo Dia. Other versions of the card include the family posing next to a penguin, and in front of an elephant greeting visitors.

Apparently there’s no such thing as a political adviser in San Juan.
