Holiday Traditions

Gianbattista said:
Like the Easter, and you know,I make it topical! Because in Italy there is a Christmas witch! Befana, she delivers the gifts to children for Epiphany or a coal if they are naughty.

I liked closing my eyes and listening to the words and hearing the path of the language.

That's interesting. I hadn't heard of the Christmas witch before. Do they get presents from Santa on Christmas and from Befana on Epiphany or is it one or the other?

Now, because of global unity, babbo natale, (Father Christmas) might bring some things at Christmas, but epiphania is traditional gift day.

Do you know if it varies from region to region? I have an Italian friend and from what he's told, they always get gifts on Christmas day, but he's never mentioned getting or giving anything on Epiphany. His family lives very close to the Austrian border, so could that explain why he's never mentioned the witch?

I'll have to remember to ask him.

There is a similar figure in the alpine regions on the other sde of the border, both to the Austrian and the Slovene side.
Can't remember the names though.

And I love Johan Glans!

Okay, well this is odd, but you did ask....

I think I've mentioned coming from a "mixed" family, part christian, part pagan. And yeah, it's about as terrible as it sounds! :D

My aunt was/is big on Halloween. I've have spent more than one Halloween dancing and participating in ritual - don't ask :rolleyes: - out in the country. Not sex mind! :eek: For most of these events I was a child! Though what they got up to when us kids were spending Halloween elsewhere I couldn't say. Well, actually I probably could, but I'd rather not go there mentally. Ewww. :(

Ritual, and dance, depended on what was happening with the moon, cycle and constellation placement. Don't even get me started on what actually constitutes a full moon. :rolleyes:

It it was exceptionally cold we'd get a campfire. So, freezing one's butt off, naked, on Halloween might be a little weird - okay a lot weird - but it's still a family tradition.

I'll even admit to having participated in this once or twice as an adult. :p

Still no sex!!!! There are things I could never unsee, and one of those things would be my aunt naked. :eek:

Oddly, Halloween is still my favorite holiday. Go figure.

Odd I'm pagan every day of the year and I never get to dance naked in the woods :-( And why does everyone think this always leads to sex anyway? Can't people just dance?


Back on topic Halloween, I used to always make myself up using what ever I had at home and walk around town. Even after I grew too old to get any candy I was still out walking the town scaring all the little ones away.... So many things have changed now, an adult can't just dress up, put some make up on their face, and wander aimlessly around town without getting stopped by the cops :-( And I hate store bought costumes because nothing ever fits.


Christmas - I haven't had a real Christmas in so long I actually forget what its like to open all the presents on Christmas eve only to find more waiting the next morning. And the taste of turkey and dressing with pineapple ham.... me and my wife have different opinions on what a real Christmas is, she seems to think its going to her moms Christmas morning and eating what ever is in the fridge while the kids gets more clothes and toys then we have room for.....while I think its about staying HOME, sharing gifts and eating a real meal with my family and only my family, not the in laws, the neighbors, and who ever else wanders in. This of course doesn't mean the in laws aren't allowed to visit US after I have had my fill of the turkey and ham that I spent hours cooking just for myself....

And lets not forget New Years ! Which my only tradition seems to be spending alone every year with my fingers glued to the keyboard.

I really gotta ask my friend, because he's never mentioned any witches and he should know I'm interested in that kind of stuff.

I loved Johan's comment on Finnish Swedish. I had no idea that's a thing, it sounds like they're writers or smart? Is it really a common stereotype? Here people, the non-Swedish speaking ones, usually just think that Muminsvenska is embarrassing, like a backwoods dialect that should be forgotten and definitely never spoken in Sweden.

As so often with Johan Glans, it's not really a thing until he says it and you realize that that is just the thing. =)

If you try naming finlandssvenkar that are wellknown here, you might get Tove Jansson, the Tikkanens, Jörn Donner, Merete Mazzarella.
Perhaps Stina Eklund, Yrsa Stenius or even Villy Kyrklund.
And of course Mark Levengood who is kind of guilty by association.

And then there is something about the diction when people speak finlandssvenska. And the contrast to Johan's skånska is hilarious.;)

Makes sense, yeah. And the contrast was funny. "Nope, we don't have that problem here, we're not fooling anybody." :)

Is it too early to get ready for Christmas? Last year's setup was the quickest in years.

Some years, this is just perfect :D
I've been wondering if I need to tie the tree up this year, seeing as there is a new kitty in the house... I'm thinking yes! :rolleyes:
