I hope you know I want a personal email alerting me to when you change your blog location and where you will be!

I can't wait to see the new look!

Thanks for visiting La Befana on my site. I had so much fun playing the part and everyone truly appreciated it. Aside from my chin wanting to fall off, it all went well. haha

*Judith, well the chocolate rule explains a lot....and yes, the dust is most definitely here.

*Taffiny, "happily busy" is a good term for right now. And my decorations are *still* looking at me....

*Jilli, wow, La Befana is really getting fancy ;)

*Karina, you know you're right. There is a great clean, fresh feeling once all the decorations are gone. And I hope to experience that later today. Really I *need* to take these decorations down ;)

I took down Christmas yesterday too. It's always a sad thing to do because it really signifies the end of the season. But then when I walked in my house last night and could see out of my balcony window again (since the tree was no longer blocking it) there was a nice "clean/fresh" feeling in the house. It's bittersweet I guess.

La Befana was good to us here in Sicily also! This year she arrived in a helicopter!!

I'm looking forward to see the new look...

I like her story (both versions).

Yesterday, I brought up the boxes for putting the decorations away, I guess today I must actually put the decorations IN the boxes. One can find some help in putting them up, but putting them away, never.

It sounds like you are happily busy. :)

2008-01-07T13:16:00.000+01:00

Sorry I'm late, but because I am the Befana I was very busy delivering your coal, pals. Don't believe it? Because the list was so long this year I delivered it as dust. You look; you'll find it.

I'd neglected to check the gas level, so with no heat I figured, "What the heck, I'll just cover them all this year." I started with people who use packaged foods, worked through the take-out orderers, a few more bad person divisions, and finished up with people who didn't share their chocolate.

See you next year!

*Jen, I'm not sure what the problem might be; I got my feed OK through Bloglines.

I'll be taking down the decorations today. So not looking forward to it.

*Ninotchka, how cute! I'll have to remember that for if/when we have bambini around here....

*Karen, that's so sweet of you! I'll send you an email shortly.

*Jen, great minds, eh?

*Deb, woohoo! Thanks :)

*Esperando, hope you had a lovely day!

*Giulia, I hope there's no carbone involved....

*Susan, it's exciting for me too. I can't wait to unveil!

*Flutter, best thing is you can just pull out a Halloween witch and pretend she's La Befana ;)

*La Delirante, glad to be of service!

*Live, you'll have to wait just a bit longer....

*Anno, I hear you. Excellent point about the treat.

*Gil, well at least she didn't bring my sinus infection back. I don't think so anyway....

*Cercando, welcome! And what a wonderful Befana gift :)

*Grace, you're going to love MotherTalk :) All my stuff is still up as I type. Eh. I'll get to it ;)

*Jeni, the secret is...oh this Blogger eating everything. See, this is why I have to get on my own domain ;)

I love the La Befana tradizione! So, you have been busier than ever creating a new blog, eh? I don't know where you find the time! You do so much. Give me your secret, please!!!
Buon anno! Jeni

2008-01-07T06:05:00.000+01:00

Yesterday was three kings and we are supposed to take down the Christmas decors too but since I work on Sundays, the tree is still up, I bet, wanting to get rest already.

I just joined MotherTalk and quite excited with it.

La Befana came and left me Stephen Colbert's new book, "I Am America (and so can You!); a marked improvement over the bags of charcoal last year. She is a good little witch. I found your blog through "Queen of Roads", and I love it! Buon' Capod'anno!

I hope that La Befana brought you something good!

2008-01-07T02:10:00.000+01:00

What a charming story! I think we all need a little treat, a little something to sustain as as we return to our routines. Maybe that's why, even though the tree is down, I couldn't pack the lights away, just strung them from the mantel to enjoy until later...

Looking forward to seeing your new look! Happy New Year!

Can't wait to see the new blog look! Happy 2008!

What a cute tradition. I'd never heard of it. We celebrate Three Kings' Day. The kids gather grass in a box to leave for the Kings' camels and they leave them a little treat. It's sweet. We celebrated early (did the grass thing last night) and the kids' treats await them. But they're not up yet. Imagine that!

2008-01-06T14:26:00.000+01:00

I can't believe I've missed all these posts!!! I set up google reader over my vacation, and for some reason, I'm not getting your new posts. Do you know what the problem might be?

We are taking down our decorations today, too. And I have NOT been busy - that all starts tomorrow. I hope you've had wonderful holidays and now I get to catch up!
