Preparation s for Christmas! Before Christmas we prepare a Christmas Tree and we decorate the tree with balls and ribbons. To remember the birth of Jesus we make a crib, where there are some statues. Children write a letter for Father Christmas, they ask him to bring them their favourite presents.
Christmas Eve and Chritmas Day On 24th December, Christmas Eve, Italian families have the Christmas dinner in the evening. For dessert we eat “Torrone”, “Panettone” and “Pandoro”. The morning after children find some presents under the Christmas tree. After Christmas lunch some families play to bingo!
31st December... New Year! This is the last day of the year. People usually stay with friends and have dinner together. At midnight they uncork a bottle of champagne and there are fireworks in all the cities !
