Buone Feste a Tutti!

At Home in Rome is going on a holiday hiatus, so see you next year!

Thanks for making my new experiment in blogging this year such a delightful success, and grazie for sharing in my adventures and observations. I'm sure that 2007 will provide us with many more of these "behind the scenes in Rome" moments.

While you're enjoying your eggnog, why not browse some of these holiday treats?

• Finny Knits: "Which House is the Ugliest?" Contest 2006
• Ms. Adventures in Italy: Menu for Hope. Bid on her spectacular artigianale basket of Italian food delights, and help the UN World Food Programme.
• In Italy's "Christmas in Italy" has lots of links about Christmas traditions in the bel paese.
• About.com's Italian language site has Christmas jokes in Italian and the Italian cuisine site has traditional Italian Christmas recipes, although this "tomatoey stewed eel" is something I've never seen before!
