Let the season begin....

With some turkey and stuffin

Oh wait, wrong photo

Yep.  Annual "Thanksgiving in Italy", hosted this year (thankfully!) by Christine.  Oh yeah, and Valerio

We ate, we drank, we laughed, we danced, we opened presents and then we all ran like frightened babies back to our own houses when the hail came.

Actually, the hail didn't bother me.  I just wanted to get back home so I could sit in the dark and look at the Christmas tree that Graham and I had put up the day before.

Brings a tear to your eye with its beauty, dunnit?

PS.  Thanks everyone for the Forno name suggestions.  No decisions yet.  Poor thing might just be "Forno" for the rest of its life.
