Festa dei Sette Pesci or La Vigilie - Christmas Eve

Imitation is the greatest form of flattery, or so they say. With only three of us home for Christmas we have decided to imitate the Italian way of celebrating La Vigilie - Christmas Eve and Il Giorno di Natale - Christmas Day.
There are a few differences thought. We had 31 deg. c. today and the sun didn't set until after 9 pm. These things do influence the food we eat however we have given it our best effort, and added a couple of our traditions too.










When the children were small we always drove around the town counting Christmas trees in the windows of homes. Times have changed and now we drive around looking at Christmas lights on the exteriors of homes. However this year was not a good year for lights. Here are the best of them.
