Merry Christmas! It’s been a nice holiday season over here in Mirandola. This year, the Benatti family stayed home and invited me to partake in their Christmas festivities. No snow unfortunately, so I still haven’t had that ‘White Christmas’ I’ve always dreamed about, woe is me. Either way, things were relatively quiet and low key. The flu has been going around the Benatti house so everyone was a little underneath the weather. Except for me, that is. I Am Legend!
We exchanged gifts on Christmas day (video below) after a nice lunch featuring tortellini and some turkey-like meat. Pasta on Christmas, you say? Big surprise, I know. Our desert consisted of Christmas cookies, chocolates, and some sweetbread topped with powdered-sugar and/or Nutella spread- mmmm! Dinner was pretty much the same stuff from lunch. Leftovers baby!
Like I said, Christmas this year was pretty low key. It's a mite lonely being away for another year from the family and friends. But, I had the Benatti family here to keep me company this time around. For New Year’s I’ll probably just have a nice dinner with Paltro and the gang. I’ve got my Cuban ready 'cause I got a feeling ’09 is gonna be a good one. But, 2008 was damn good so it'll be pretty hard to top. Only time will tell…
Oh, and I want to say congratulations to Steven who had a baby boy over there in Texas. I saw the pics. I can't believe you're a father, man! Congratulations!

Happy New Year Clint! Glad to see things are still going well for you, and that no italians have fought you to defend their honor.
Why would an Italian fight me to defend their honor? I'm afraid to ask , but, I guess I did...
Happy New Year's to you too, my man! I hope all is well for you. New blog coming up soon, just been lazy.
