Holidays are all about sharing and making memories if you ask me. Sharing, because we end up spending a lot of time in the company of our family, definitely more than the rest of the year,  and that means sharing space, time, and tasks, especially around the kitchen. Making memories because when you’re in good company, that always happens. But sharing and making memories is pleasant even when it happens at community level and, in this, L’Italo-Americano can help.

For many, the spirituality of Christmas, the root itself of the festivities, is sometimes lost in the sea of presents, turkeys, and frosted cookies filling our homes this time of the year.  But for Italians and Italian-Americans it often isn’t so, perhaps because that, too, is such a large part of our own family history and cultural heritage: midnight mass, Gesù Bambino, the Holy Family traveling to Bethlehem, the Nativity scene.  And then, there is the food, of course.
