It seems that somewhere among "Sleigh Ride" and "Silver Bells" there should be a song about "Street Lights in Milan",
... "Meet me in Piazza alla Scala at Christmastime",
... or "How much is that Panettone in the Window?"
Actually, now that the Holiday Season has passed, my biggest lament is, "Where has all the panettone gone?" Just like those who say it's only proper to eat fruits in season, I guess the same goes for Milano's hometown "Tony's bread".
And so, as well, we're only treated for a few weeks of each year to the musical light show at the Castello,
... the lighted tree on Piazza Duomo,
... and the sparkling blue dome in the Galleria.
(Although, thank goodness, the days of gelato lasts forever!)
Now, with the turning of one year to the next, I'm lucky enough to look back at all of the Seasons in Milan and find the weeks around Christmas to be my favorite. So, I wish you all, and hope to do so again, ...
"Tanti Auguri" from Milano!
