Can anyone explain to me how to sign Merry Christmas (aka Feliz Navidad) in Columbian Sign Language. I have a deaf friend who lives in Columbia and she's coming to visit this December. The both of us know ASL (American Sign Language) but I would really like to make her feel at home by greeting her in the sign language she uses most. All I need is for someone to explain the hand gestures and movements for Merry Christmas in Columbian Sign. Thanks for your help!

1. If you want to make her feel welcome, you might wish to learn the name of her country. It's Colombia (not Columbia).
2. If she can understand the rest of your ASL-based communication, then she will understand Merry Xmas in ASL.
3. You could always display in your house a party banner (purchased or homemade) that says Feliz Navidad.
4. If it really is important for you to know how to say "Feliz Navidad" in Colombian Sign Language (CSN), then there is an obvious alternative to Yahoo! Answers (which, quite frankly, is normally useless for such a specialist question). The obvious source of information is Fenascol (la Federación Nacional de Sordos de Colombia). The following webpage has an online query function as well as e-mail address, telephone numbers, fax number and postal address.

I hope this is useful.

Get a sign language book and work from there. The site below would be great for kids as it is a gorilla teaching it. (make it fun for them) GOOD LUCK
