Who's reading gingersoul (407):
Tonight in Italy is the night of the carolers.
I wrote about this beautiful tradition last year.
But since our Soulcast has grown so much i decide to re-post that blog and let the new scasters read it for the first time......or the seasoned ones to re-read it again, if you like ..:-)
 
 
So there it goes...my magic Italian carolers night 
 
 
And, naturally, Merry Christmas to all of you, one by one.....{{{hugs}}}

    As I was not here at SC last Christmas, I have enjoyed your carolers story.  It is sad that the tradition does not continue...even here.  I don't remember ever hearing carolers here.  It must be a childhood memory you will treasure for a lifetime.  We still have some places here that offer sleigh rides and singing but they are few and far between.  Thank you ~ and merry christmas to you also {{ gingersoul}}.

    Nathalie......i know you are going to have a great Christmas for sure...*wink*......first Xmas ever with the man you love.....i still remember certain first Xmas......have the time of your life..... Merry Christmas, Nat.... {{hugs}}

    Quiet.....its really a shame......my friend called me today from Italy....she said she could already see the cars lined up in front of several meeting points....they will start to sing in one hour...

    My office had a group of 4 carolers singing for us last Friday....they were dressed as typical Victorian carolers...very pretty.....we had also punch and chocolate cookies......it has been nice.......but not even remotely close to my carolers...lol...

    Merry Christmas, Quiet..{{{hugs}}

    Merry Christmas, Miss Gingery. I hope you have a very wonderful holiday. I might not have been here last year, but I'm glad I'm here now.

    Warm wishes to you.

    Xmasy Box.....oh, i am glad too that you are here now....better later than never...lol...

    I wish you to spend the best Christmas ever with your loved ones.....don't drink too much egg nog...and no pillow fight until your parents will go to bed and only after Santa delivers his presents.....:-)

    Merry Christmas, Jack.

    Xmas Box....I like that one. There's a lot you can do with my name.

    I will try not to drink too much eggnog. Kyle and I used to fight over who got to find the most money that Santa hid in the tree.

    It was pretty funny. The poor tree didn't always stand up so well under the war.

    We don't usually attack each other anymore though. But if he tosses me over the couch, the pillow fight might just happen naturally.

    Thank you for your holiday wishes.

    Merry Christmas Ginger. I did not know you do this in Italy. I went with my friends caroling in Scotland when I was there and I liked it a lot.

    Dee....i am glad you liked it.....i called my mom earlier and she told me the carolers were already out and some group had already stopped underneath her windows......but she thinks like i do.....she too prefers the old fashioned way.....

    I could picture her standing at the window watchings them....alone......maybe remembering like me the old times......when she had all of us with her and my father and  my sis were still alive....

    I can picture her caressing softly the head of my cat Bruce ....the one i left behind when i moved here....the two of them.....survivors of our already small family shrank so brutally and so soon....

    ginger, i miss children carolers. where i am today, there are none. solution: play christmas carols all night long, and post a new blog about it... :-) merry christmas to you too, my friend.

  • gingersoul said on Dec 24, 2007....

    Moon.......we are children in heart when it comes to Xmas....:-).....i will surely listen to the carols even though each one is a long gone memory and it kills us a little bit...bittersweet sensation.....an emotional  masochism we allow ourselves to dive in only at Xmas.....:-)

    You too have from me the warmest wish of a happy Xmas.......{{hugs}}}
