That would be Befana, of course! Best of all, Befana is a broomstick-riding WITCH! How gothic is that?

Wolfmammy WroteColonWe've started doing 'special stuff'(making cookies, brownies, watching holiday specific movies) around the holidays so that there's the family bonding. We watch Rudolph and the kids really like it. They are becoming more *aware* of the world around them. To me, not believing didn't take away any of the 'specialness'. It was still just as nice to get awesome presents, drink hot cocoa and tear into presents on Christmas mourning. To me the best memories were just being with my family.

From what I read, it sounds like this may have started as more of a Pagan ritual, rather than a Christian one. Interesting. Then again, some of the traditions of Christmas (such as the Christmas Tree) are derived from Paganism, which I also find to be interesting (even though many Christians I know have completely denied this).

Midieval Fantasy WroteColonAfter Nephele's post I am still completely honest in my thoughts that I will teach my kids about Befana rather than Santa....
