メリークリスマス/ Merry Christmas Ukulele Card, Japanese

Trying to hit all the big ukulele cultures, today adding Japan. Oh, here's the actual conversation with my coworker from Japan:

me: How do you say “Merry Christmas” in Japanese?
him: mmmnnn… “Merry Christmas”. What? We borrow.

Ukulele Silhouette/Outline/Sculpture in aged barn chestnut

I enjoy noodling with the uke's peanut shape, quite pleasing, but I've found that the more exaggerated proportions of the "pocket ukulele" capture its essence -- its uke-ness -- better than the soprano (which I play... badly), which just looks too much like a nicely proportioned guitar. Anyway, sketched this last night, made a pattern in Illustrator, knocked it out this morning.

I have several holiday variations of this over on pizzabytheslice.com, including French, Tagalog, German, Japanese, English, and, of course, Hawaiian.
