Befana

You know, stuff like that is still true to this day.

I mean, we have things that we grew up with as kids, like the Befana.

The Befana is, some people may know it as Tres Reyes Day, Three Kings Day here in the United States, Epiphany, you know, Catholic and cultural thing for us.

But we celebrate the Befana.

My kids always celebrated the Befana here.

And at Holy Rosary, they always celebrate the Befana.

And they have somebody dress up and get the candy out.

And it's something I grew up with as a kid, and it's still being done today.

There...

I love all the Christmas witches at, like the, like the La Befana in Italy, Krampuscha, and there are just so many great old stories around the dark time of year, and it makes sense to put them at Yule-

Yeah

... because that is the shortest night.
