In Italy the witch a.k.a "Befana" is a tradition that occurs on Jan. 6th. Stockings are placed near a window and the Befana brings gifts to the good kids and coal for the bad kids.

The Swedish sing songs during the dinner and toast after every song with a special liquor.

  1. Nice picture. My family love spending Christmas in Rome, too. The gigantic Christmas tree and the life size nativity display in St. Peter’s are just among the exciting things that we anticipate to see in Rome during Christmas. Shopping and strolling around the Christmas market in Piazza Navona is equally fun and exciting as well, especially with your kids with you. Thanks for this. Belated Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you and your family.
