Natale in Roma!
Christmas in Rome was amazing. We went to the Vatican for the unvelining of their life size Nativity scene. There were several groups that sang including the Vatican choir (which was excellent) and, more comically, a group of young children who actually lipsynced.
Later that evening, we went to midnight mass at the Basilica near Piazza Venezia. In there Nativity Scene is a baby Jesus that is known as a miracle baby. All year, people write letters to him, and he is displayed in a glass case surrounded by the letters. They only take him out on Christmas Eve and Christmas day.
On Christmas day, we ate omelettes, opened presents in my apartment, and then went over to Michael's, where we watched the claymation classic, Rudolph, projected so it was like our own personal movie showing.
Buon Natale!
