"Sending a big hug to you from across the miles. I do hope that your first days of 2009 have been filled with fun, love, and laughter.
Tonight is a BIG night here in Italy. According to Italian folklore, tonight the Befana (the good Christmas witch) will visit our homes. Before you go to bed, you must hang your stocking up and if you have been a good kitty or doggy (which I know you have) Befana will fill your stocking with goodies.
Sending you all a custom made Christmas stockings. Hang them before you go to bed in hopes that Befana will leave you treats!"
Much love from Italy,
Opus (a good cat)
