it is natale in italy. and i wish i could always be here for this season. last night was the christmas tree lighting ceremony. the choir sang and during "silent night" they set off blue and gold streamers and turned on all the lights. it was all so lovely. the christmas market is set up now in the center. candy stands are all over the square. caroling and babies bundled like snowmen. i love the atmosphere.
we went to the ceremony and then followed the choir as the went caroling to listen to jeremiah's gospel solos. afterwards we went to maracaibo's for aperitivo, and il ciclone for dinner. arranged our secret santa. and then biked home for a movie night.
today we're going with the choir to Modena for a queen concert. should be a fun spectacular. i feel like such a choir groupie. but who says no to a free ride and the chance to hear queen sung with an italian accent?
a picture of the ceremony. (i got one crappy shot. my camera immediately died. sigh.)
