Stop The Press!

Both Elizabeth and Justin had their pictures in the newspaper a couple of weeks ago. The newspaper (Corrire Canadese - A Italian newspaper For Italians living in Canada) featured a story about a recent get together of Southern Ontario Tuscan Canadians for the celebration of "La Befana"... La Befana is a character in Italian folklore the goes around giving good children gifts on Jan 6th. Legend has it that back in the days just before Christ's birth. Local astrologers came to her door asking for directions to where the Christ child was born. She was unsure.. They asked her to come along for the journey, she declined.. Days later she changed her mind and went looking for the Christ child but never found him... So every year around Christmas time she makes her way to the children of the world giving gifts hope to one day find the Christ child.

The newspaper had a picture of the Elizabeth drawing La Befana and a second picture of Luca's aunt Louise reading the children the story. Both Justin and Elizabeth were in the second picture.
