Buon Natale Means Merry Christmas to You
Buon Natale, to Everyone
Happy New Year and Lots of Fun
Buon Natale May All Your Wishes Come True
Buon Natale in Italy Means
A Merry Christmas to You
Far Away Across the Sea
In Sunny Italy
There’s a Quaint Little Town
Not a Clock Has Been Wound
For Over a Century
They Don’t Know the Time Or Year
And no One Seems to Care
And This Is the Reason
The Christmas Season
Is Celebrated All Year
Buon Natale, Means Merry Christmas to You
Buon Natale, to Everyone
Happy New Year and Lots of Fun
Buon Natale May All Your Wishes Come True
Buon Natale in Italy Means
A Merry Christmas to You

Jann, this post was such a lovely gift to your readers! I couldn’t get enough of the beautiful captures! I’m so sorry I’m late to the party. This past month has been quite hectic and I took an unplanned hiatus from the blogosphere. Nevertheless, I’m so glad I was able to read and witness your beautiful photos. They are all so beautiful! The one of the two beautiful girls dressed in Santa Claus costumes is stunning! Such beauties! And the desserts! Oh my! To live in Italy! Ahh…..I sigh at the thought! Kisses! 🙂
We’re so glad to have you back in business, Bella. Sending back kisses to you. xxxxxxxx
I cannot see your photos. DOGGONE IT!
But I wanted to wish you love love love for 2013, dearest Jann. Xx
Oh, sorry about that, Kim. A whole ocean-ful of love back to you dear Kim.
Merry Christmas Jann. Thank you for all the pictures and stories you post. They are the best gift one can have while they await a return visit to Sicily.
Charlie, you’re so sweet. And may I thank you for your many lovely comments in 2012? I love it when you stop by.
Ciao, Jann,
Buon Natale to you also. When I was Seventeen I spent the summer in Ragusa,Ibla, I never forgot it and dream of living my life there. Your blog is so passionate, with the news and the stories of that wonderful city. I never got over the aroma’s that pour out into the streets and the fragrant from the Fig trees. Its a never ending dream which I hope I can make it real.
John, John, John!!!! Well, I don’t know how old you are now, but I’m sure it’s been much too long since you last visited! I think it would lots of fun to have you in the village, and the villagers would love having you around. The fig trees are still there, and the ever-present aroma of jasmine and lemon.
Buon Natale to you! It was 66F here in Siracusa today but the snow visible(from here) on Mt Etna was pretty! sent you a pic. I am sure you cannot wait to get “home”

Buon Natale Jann all the way from Valentine NSW Australia (down Under). While you’ve had a cold Christmas, our Christmas day was extremely wet and on the cool side (unlike the past hot and dry Christmases we usually have.
Thank you for the wonderful photos and looking forward to the new year.
Ciao, Maria Clayton
