We wake up early to see what Babbo Natale has left us in our stockings this year! If we’ve been good, he leaves chocolate and other goodies! At noon, we gather with our family at the Piazza San Pietro to listen to the Pope give his yearly Christmas Day speech and bless the people. Finally, we enjoy a Christmas meal that includes filled pastas, lasagna, tortellini, risotto, roast beef and more delicious dishes. And, of course, more desserts!

Which Italian tradition was your favorite?
