I have a large lump in my throat and tears streaming down my face that was a beautiful andmormory rushing moment of your life and Christmas as a child but brought back some of the memories I’d forgotten, espically with my Nona in Sicily as I lived there till I was 5 years old.
Her kitchen proper was also the stable for the mule and the chicken hutch, there was a natural spring well in the centre and a tiny stove fed by fire logs at the other end bushels of chestnuts and veggies a long wooden table and my tiny chair were I sat and watched Aunts and NONa , baking and cooking and feeding me tibits. I can’t wait to hear more of your story.

Thanks so much for sharing some of your memories — Christmas memories are the best! And thanks, as always, for reading

Absolutely lovely memories, matching quite a few of my own. You might like to read something I wrote along the same lines (which I’ll be re-publishing on my blog this year, closer to Christmas, but you can have a look now because you’re special!)

By the way, I found my way here from Anali’s place.

Ooh thanks Suldog! I love Christmas memories! And I love Anali too

Oh, yes, my friend — as adults, it’s about the treasured memories, and trying hard to make some of the same for the younger ones. What a time of heritage and love! Thank you for ALL your Christmas memories — this has particularly been a year of fond, poignant memories for me, too.

I’ve so been enjoying your Christmas memory posts, Michelle. You have the most wonderful family and so many beautiful memories to share. Your nonna sounded very special. I have a feeling that she’ll be watching over you at Christmas and will be very proud of the life that you’ve made and the old *and* new traditions that you’re following now.

There is something really, really cozy about the light given off by multi-colored Christmas lights. We are always tempted to leave ours up all year.

This might be the year.
