We started with a story from our Christmas Round the World book then read the printouts from the Christmas in Italy websites.  The celebrations in Italy revolve around Il Bambino Jesu (the baby Jesus) and the presepio (creche) so we set up our big Nativity set. 

The dc thought that having an ugly old lady on a broomstick (La Befana) deliver presents to children was a hoot!

We had pasta for dinner, of course, and a scrumptious Chocolatty Ricotta Pie.  We'll be having some panettone (fruity Christmas cake) in the next day or two as well

What are YOU all doing for school this holiday season?

Peace,

Katie
