Buon Natale e buone feste

  Auguri for a safe and happy Christmas and holiday season for you and yours, from Candida Martinelli.

 

 

 

The Holy Family by Raffaello

 

 

 

 

 

 

A small gift of two Christmas songs from Mario Lanza.  While a bit grainy, and old Hollywood, the combined emotion of Lanza's true tenor and Lord's Prayer, and Ave Maria, is so moving.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I've a few pages just for this season:

 

Nativity Art

The Christmas Story

Italian Prayers

Angels

Gift Ideas

Sweets

Holiday Recipes

Christmas Cards

 

 

 

 

And another gift to you are these fun Christmas animated icons you are welcome to copy and use.
