We had a very traditional Swiss-Italian Christmas.
First we attended 10:00 mass at the Catholic church in Canobbio (Ramesha’s home village).
Then we picked up Silvio and drove to Bellinzona for Christmas with extended family — Nani’s (Ramesha’s father, brother, sister, and us of course), Mazzola’s (brother-in-law and his mother), Schneider-Clissa’s (niece and her husband, plus baby Aron), and Antonio’s parents from Rome.
We were there for approximately five hours of appetizers, pasta with salmon, tiramisu and marscapone, coffee, digestivo, gifts, dogs, and lots of laughter.
Quite a day!
