La Befana is the last damn holiday of Our Holiday Season here in Catholic Italy!!! It runs from the 1st of December to the 6th of January. 37 long & stressful days of festivities. La Befana is a Witch carrying a broom. Can't say if she flies or not. Probably uses Ryanair. The Witch comes on the Twelfth Night bringing Toys & Candies for all the Good Boy & Girls and pieces of coal for the Bad Ones. She stuffs stockings. I thought that was the Elves job. But then, Babbo Natale is NOT an Officially Sanctioned State/Church Entity in Italy. La Befana is. Anyway, I have hung stockings on Dr. You's bedroom door for La Befana. I hope he likes potato-chips!!!
In the meantime, here's the sky the morning of La Befana...
