It's Christmas Tiiiiiiiiiiiiiime

hehe yes it has been Christmas time for a while ;)
here on the right, you can see the Christmas light on the marvellous level-crossing of my town, where I catch the train to Milan.

where I live, there is the tradition to decorate the houses on the 8th December: why?
the 8th December is a religious national holiday, so no school, no work. and in Milan also the 7th December is holiday, due to the patron saint S. Ambrogio.

so this year I haven't felt Christmas, yet. I'm still surprised when in the shops or my teachers wish me happy Christmas holidays. ihih
nontheless I decorated my room with my Nativity. Luis, who was going back to Mexico, gave me it as a gift. (Hey Luis have you seen?!?! I'm 1 year late with the picture, but as you notice I brought it to Italy, too).

But what really makes me feel that it's Christmas time????

1. the Adventkalendar: my mom always brings us "children" (me, my sister, my sister's fiancè and my dad) our calendar with windows for every December's day and with chocolate in it! while I was in Bremen I had to take it alone!! Tragedy!
2. the Coca-cola tin! what's Christmas without Santa Claus on the tins and the tv ad with the Christmas song: "vorrei cantare insieme a voi....."
3. Christmas films aired on tv: Trading places (1983), this year aired much earlier, I was so disappointed! I mean: it's tradition since I was able to remember sth! :D; When harry met Sally (1989), my favourite movie ever, I know it by heart, usually not aired on Christmas, but it's my own tradition and Home alone (1990), really really typical!!! I still remember when I asked to be brought to the cinema to watch it.
4. last but not least, Christmas carols!!! Jingle bells? NO! White Christmas? NO! here is my playlist ;)
