      Christmas and winter holiday menus

      The Christmas season in Italy starts, culturally speaking, with the first Sunday of Advent and lasts through Epiphany. In addition to Christmas Eve and Christmas Day, important Saints’ Days such as Santa Lucia (December 13) and Santo Stefano (December 26) also fall in December. New Year’s Eve and New Year’s Day, are also celebrated joyfully. It is only after Epiphany on January 7 that the Christmas season ends. Additional winter holidays include San Valentino or St. Valentine’s Day, and Carnevale (Mardi Gras) before Lent begins.

      On the feast of Santa Lucia, various towns have their own sweet and savory baked goods that are enjoyed in addition to wintertime foods. Occhi di Santa Lucia/Santa Lucia’s Eyes Cookies are a traditional sweet enjoyed for breakfast or dessert, dunked in coffee or sweet wine for the occasion. On Epiphany, La Befana is celebrated. La Befana is a good witch who not only rewards children for good (and punishes them for bad) behavior on the Eve of Epiphany, but is also credited with sweeping away negative energy from previous years. Italian children hang stockings for her to fill on December 6. Cutout cookies in the shapes of stars and stockings, cakes, and stocking-shaped pizze and calzoni are made in her honor.
