No, that isn't DB10!
He is a ball sucking, knob jockey shrunk by a magical Oirish wizard as punishment for his homosexual tendencies!

The tradition with my Sicilian family was always Salt Fish and home-made Italian Sausage on Christmas Eve; Pasta with Pork Sauce, followed by Pork and Potatoes in sauce on Christmas Day; then on New Year's Day it was Steak in breadcrumbs with salad and other side dishes.
However as a concession to me (because my family know I love a traditional Turkey dinner), they started making that on New Year's Day instead. In fact such was my love of a Christmas roast dinner that growing up I used to have the Italian one with my family and then go off immediately to my best friend's house to enjoy a traditional British one with his family!!
Even better, as time has passed by I've managed to persuade my own family to make it the main meal on Christmas Day, and we now have the Pork on New Year's Day.

It's interesting, given recent events, that one of the three kings is blacked up like one of Black & White Minstrels. I'm sure the police would be investigating if it happened in England.
For a while my daughter got away with 'believing' in Santa and the 3 Kings, thereby getting extra presents.
We celebrate in the sense that it's a national holiday and we eat and drink too much (quite like Xmas really). Most Spaniards get their pressies on 6th.
PS Sadly, I don't live in the village that's just won El Gordo, so another year scraping to make a living beckons.
Are there any strange traditional where you live? I was told that a witch delivers presents to Italians.

Merry Christmas to everyone - spare a thought for us working again this year
Read this so we can at least have a 5 min spell between putting out oven fires which some dirty bugger hasnt cleaned in a year
Key festive fire safety points:
- Test your smoke alarms each week and never remove batteries to use in children’s toys.
- Ensure all plugs are fitted with the correct fuses, the plugs are wired correctly and that the wiring is not worn or damaged in any way
- Do not overload electrical sockets
- Always switch Christmas lights off and unplug them when they are not being used, and before going out or to bed
- Never leave cooking unattended – always turn off cooker when you leave the kitchen.
- Do not cook when intoxicated – alcohol can seriously affect your judgement Most of the forum
- Do not used decorative lights designed for use indoors outside, even if they appear sheltered from the weather
- Never leave burning candles unattended or placed near the Christmas tree, furniture or curtains
- Decorations burn very easily – never attach them to lights or heaters
- Check that any cigarettes have been completely stubbed out
- Keep Christmas cards, stockings, presents, decorations and discarded wrapping paper well away from open fireplaces and heaters
- Keep real Christmas trees away from fires and other heat sources as they are highly combustible, particularly as they dry out
- Plan an escape route in the event of a fire and make sure all guests know where the doors and window keys are kept

Yep, but then again Spain isn't too PC is it nowSpanishJoe wrote:It's interesting, given recent events, that one of the three kings is blacked up like one of Black & White Minstrels. I'm sure the police would be investigating if it happened in England.

Sounds a good enough reason to celebrate!!
Still, I reckon Spain wins with regards to Xmas... marzipan, Three Kings, shoe-presents, el Gordo, all of that.
In South Africa people don't really have odd traditions. A lot of people that I know celebrate it in traditional African ways as opposed to the 'western' way of Santa etc.
Yeh, the Italians have the rather odd La Bufana, who's a witch who delivers parents...
