		<description>WOW it sounds elegant, I have never been out of the country but with those great articles it will definitely help me decide where to go.  I have heard that Napals is a beautiful place.  I would love to go and experience a new culture other than my own thanks.

&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;Enjoy!&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;

		<description>Great articles! I have to admit finding the political figurines a little creepy looking, but I guess the artist tried. 

I&#039;m getting into the holiday spirit after baking my first batch of Christmas cookies yesterday.  I haven&#039;t posted them yet, but soon.  : )

&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;Yeah, some of the people definitely get a little creepy, and I have to include Barack and Michelle Obama in there. But it&#039;s nice of them to try to include the US I guess ;)&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;</description>

&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;I want to take photos of the one in our church in the village this year as I haven&#039;t yet; it&#039;s often too dark for them though, but I&#039;ll try!&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;</description>

		<description>Thanks for the comment! I hope your holiday decorating is going well.  My only regret this Christmas is not being able to have a real tree (there&#039;s no room in my apartment).  Instead, I bought a fake little tree and plugged into my wall an evergreen scented oil thingy.  It&#039;s an adequate substitute.  

By the way, I enjoyed your piece on 5 Christmas traditions around the world, especially number 5.  I was at the tree-lighting this year for the first time since my childhood.  It is a lovely sight. 

What fun it must be to write about the holidays and the world... =)

&lt;abbr&gt;&lt;em&gt;Weekend Anna’s last blog post..&lt;a href=&quot;http://weekendanna.blogspot.com/2008/12/its-that-time-of-year.html&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;It&#039;s that time of year...&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/abbr&gt;

&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;Yeah I don&#039;t have room for a full-sized tree either, so I have a tiny one...no evergreen scent, but it&#039;s OK. I have cinnamon pinecones!

Glad you enjoyed the tree lighting! I *love* NYC at Christmas time!&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;</description>

		<description>My grandma and grandfather were Calabrese.  This time of year I tend to wax nostalgic for Grandma&#039;s house.  My last name is a town in Calabria (Magisano).  I enjoy your site very much.

&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;Thanks Marc! I can definitely understand that the holidays bring out nostalgia...I hope you&#039;ll come back on Tuesday. I think you&#039;ll enjoy what I have in store :)&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;</description>

		<description>thank you for yet again taking me to Italy; i&#039;m living there now, vicariously through you! I&#039;ll make sure to check out the reads you suggest. I love the season, it&#039;s my favorite. I should be at church today but i decided to stay in, light candles, turn on my Christmas songs playlist and blog read. All I&#039;m missing is the smell of pines (need to go to home depot and get some trimmings) and mi familia. ciao bella.

&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;Mmmm I can smell the pines...sounds so lovely Bren :)&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;</description>

		<description>What nostalgia your articles on the Neapolitan presepi has conjured up in me.
I was reminded of three winters ago, when I was strolling visiting the Museo di Santa Chiara. It a sunny day and all that was needed was a light jacket. I ended my visit with an espresso and sfogliatella liscia at le Galleria Umberto I. Even just traveling back there in my mind is wonderful.
