Yesterday I had my last study before the Christmas-New Year break, which lasts until January 8. It is a bit longer than the usual two weeks, since I didn’t have anything on Thursday and Friday anyway, and the day that everything in Italy usually restarts (the 7th, the day after Epiphany, or as they call it in Italy the Befana (an ugly old lady who brings gifts or pieces of coal, depending upon your goodness during the year)) is a Sunday this time. Pinuccia as well finishes school, and her contract, today - the teacher she is substituting returns tomorrow for the last day of school so that she gets paid for the holidays. You could pray for another good job for Pinuccia when school restarts on the 8th.

The main thing we will be doing during the break is hospitality, because my parents arrive this afternoon for a couple of weeks with us (but mainly with Stefania!). Pray for a good time together.
