WINTER, CHRISTMAS PREP', SANTA LUCIA ... AND SOME CANDLES TO BLOW

Winter is here, and we had snow, already !

Today, 13rh December,  is also Santa Lucia Day

and, traditionally in our Italian family,

we celebrate the return of the light

(1 more minute of day light, and way to go),

starting the baking for Christmas,

as my mother-in-law taught me years ago

I can't tell you that heavenly smell in the house !

***

Yesterday was devoted to Christmas décorations

and I managed to complete this wall-hanging,

started last year...

***

Tomorrow will be a little special,

as I'll be turning 66 (I just can't believe it)

YAY !

Yes, I'm a winter girl, and I LOVE it  

:))

ENJOY THE SEASON MY FRIENDS !
