love!Merry Christmas in Italian is Buon Natale! And the first Christmas Carol’s probably came from Italy. And mangers are set up and left empty till Christmas Eve. When baby Jesus was born.
Most children do not receive gifts til Jan. 6th. La Befana brings them. She rides in on a broom stick and goes house to house searching for the Christ Child and leaving gifts for all the good children.
How about some Gnomes for your front door or deck. Bring in some of that magical smells of evergreens and the spirit of the live if Gnomes. A cute and curious mind would like a Gnome.
St Nicolas day is December 6th. Children put out there shoes to be filled with treats and small toys.
You will see Nativity scenes and you may enjoy a play or two. Tonight we m as de a Nativity Stage and puppets of the 1st Day of Christmas Nativity.
Nativity Wine Glass Globe Scene is a perfect gift. It is the season to bring in hope, love and kindness. This Nativity is hand painted and has a electric tea light able to be turned on from the bottom. Giving the nice glow of warmth to our Nativity. Embellished with white poinsettia, angel and a foam star bottom to hold the light secure.
Here is a fun craft for a snow day. Five popsicle sticks ( I use the tongue press myself) Glue them together in a straight row. Make a handle for the cup shape. Use brown paint at the top of the cup in a 1/2 circle. Now paint your cup your favorite color.. and let dry. Then add embellishments of marshmallows or sprinkles… and don’t forget your cup to.
Now that you worked so hard. Ask your family for a delicious cup of hot coco.
This adorable Smowman melts my heart. He is made with 3 glass globe vases and glued together. Leaving the bottom open for a bright push light can shine all through the 3 globe vases.
Wrapped with batting and trimmed to style up our home. And with my love for Snowman, there will be more to join his family soon.
There are so many styles, so pick from and the style you like will be perfect to make it. Some like 2 snowballs, some like no top hats and rather have a baseball cap instead. Create your stylish Snowman this season.

Austrians begin Christmas on St Nicolas Day. And ends on Epiphany. Evergreens decorate all around their homes. And the tree is hung upside down in and decorated with paper ornaments, nuts, apples, and candles. Lights may be used in our modern times. This becomes the “Lord God’s Corner.” Or “Christ Child Corner.” Oc Christmas eve gifts are placed under their tree while the children are sleeping.
Families attend midnight church service and sing Christmas Carol’s like “Silent Night”
