We're back on track. All of you. In the car, then in office, then back in the car and at home. Way, start again. I have a little 'that feeling of brown, like an onion in hot oil until arrival in the tomato sauce. And this year there's just a lot of sauce. Since the new house and all that entails, charges and satisfactions equally distributed. Fortunately, the holiday I have loaded enough to face the coming months.
For the first time any voyage, but I did the full family. Both my new little one peak, that is enlarged by now has come about after so many years. The alliance now merged and acquired true among relatives with whom it is always nice to spend the hours. The beauty of Christmas is just that, closer to his family, who now see the need for or the distance we see less frequently. Appreciate the many fine traditions. Like the tree, the ceremonial opening of the gifts (although marred by various influences), the pranzone and dinner.
I also met some new people, always a source of encouragement and reflection. Why are we always used to deal very little with others, often live surrounded by more or less the same people every day throughout the year. I enjoyed the New Year instead discovered in the company of a couple Verone - Parisian - London that Christmas and New Year are not everywhere the same. What a dumb crackers and barrels as if it were the anti-World War I (maybe II) is not the norm everywhere in the world. That is not normal for the first year, there are ambulances to patrol the streets, because in theory is more or less a party for everyone. But the more I looked with new eyes at our Italian, and with pride. We criticized a bit 'all over the world, often with good reason, for many small difettucci, like the Mafia and overflight everything else. But we are also a great nation of traditionalists, this time in a good way.
Under the traditional parties desire to multiply and go looking for them all, one by one, without even noticing. Asking the Parisian boy, Simon, what were the dishes in France during the celebrations, he said that there were none. I was there with all the emphasis instead to explain to us during the holidays can not miss panettone & pandoro, lentils bring money (this was not easy to understand), sausage or knuckle is the same, except for the hungry rind eaters, capon at Christmas is a must (among other compliments Mom has cooked so amazing). I thought it was beautiful, a whole people united by the spread uses, all of them guzzling lentils. Who always go at the end. In all the houses.
