The traditional meal is TUNA pasta, we also had Visso prosciutto, Russian salad and bread. No one could say why it's a tradition to have russian salad on Christmas Eve.....one thing I have learned here in Italy: when the pasta is served, better start eating. No one likes tepid pasta, so even though Sandro is still serving, it's definitely the thing to do to
DIG IN
Hiwot, who is hidden behind Vanda in the previous picture, anyway Hiwot and I walked into the village center to the fanciest bakery I have seen here in Alme and we picked out what looked like a nice Christmas cake.....this was it. It got almost all eaten up, and several people had seconds, the strawberry glacee hit the spot. On the spot we had to decide to keep Antonella's desert for the next day. The big dinner day. At about 10pm I was starting to flag, but finally Roberta said, isn't it time, time to open presents......everyone agreed it was time, yeah.
This is Roberta, Sandro and Antonella's daughter who is now 30, living in Milan and working for Microsoft, with her long time boyfriend Marco, who is working in advertising. They are planning on going to Miami right after new years for a 10 day vacation in the sun.
Roberta kindly took this picture, the gifts were as big as the tree.......................
Maggie, who's such a good day got to spend the evening inside, she has her special bed when she is allowed upstairs, and she stays there too. Too bad that hat wouldn't stay on her head

Looks much like an American Xmas--dog, hat, presents, table of food etc. You look like you're having fun! The cake looks yummy. I need a new, inspired dessert! I kept thionking cake too! Tired of pie--but I'm yired of sugar! Very unpopular position. Jordan is totally cool, sweet, self-confident. I hope Rou keeps him! They arrived on time out of the storm and all! He's impressive. xoxox mm
