4. OUR family traditions ForwardBackTableTable of contentsofcontents For Christmas my family always puts up a tree about 2 weeks before Christmas, And the first day we get the tree we always decorate it right after my dad puts Christmas lights on it. We decorate the tree with glass ornaments and little toys that we had since we were like 3. our tree is always as tall as our roof (witch I have no idea how tall that is) and its always real not one of those fake ones, and it always smells like pine I love that smell. My favourite ornament is one that my dad had when he was younger then he is now, And it’s red and sparkly, its round and we always put it on the top branch, and, unlike the other ornaments my red sparkly decoration doesn’t break as fast as other glass ones, its thick glass, the other ones are vary thin and break if you drop them. My family eats a lot for Christmas, especially when family is over. My mom and my aunty make dinner at my house every year We eat chicken or turkey, stuffing, potatoes and stuff like that Its kind of like thanks giving but more Christmassy I found out about Santa when I was like 6 or 7. I so disappointed, I staid up till 12:00 and found out that finally no one was coming, at first I thought that cause I wasn’t asleep Santa wouldn’t come, so I fell asleep till 3:00 and I saw my presents under the tree mostly tagged from Santa and I saw that the milk and cookies were gone and their was a note their with my dads writing, and that’s how I found out about Santa.

Christmas in Italy ForwardBackTableTable of contentsofcontents Italian Christmas Christmas in Italy goes on way longer then Christmas in Canada, it goes on 8 days before Christmas, in Italy they call Christmas the Novena. The 8 days that the novena goes on for, kids go from house to house dressed as shepherds, playing pipes, singing and reciting Christmas poems to get some money to buy Christmas gifs. Food that Italians eat on Christmas day On Christmas Eve the dinner is called cenone which is a traditional dish of eel. Witch a lot Italians eat on their 8 days of novena. For breakfast they eat a sweet hazelnut cinnamon rolls it's the Spiked Iced Cappuccino that'll really kick-start the day, witch to me sounds great. For Christmas lunch is Tortellini in Brodo which is filled pasta parcels in broth, also served is cappone which is boiled capon, they also eat garlic bread for an appetizer.
