Cuba Breaks Embargo, Christmas Ban With Site

December 31st, 1969 | Category: Gadget News

The Cuban government is working with a Spanish company called Grupo Excelencias to violate the U.S. ban on sales to Cuba, as well as its own ban on celebrating Christmas. The collaborative web site, called MallHabana.com is heavily promoting the sale of goods to Cubans living

in America and elsewhere to be delivered to their Cuban relatives. (Cubans themselves can’t afford that stuff, as the average Cuban salary is about $25 per month.) The Cuban government effectively banned the celebration of Christmas in 1966.
