Ciao Amalfi

Bring on the Christmas Lights!

 

The holiday season is in full swing here on the Amalfi Coast! The food shops are full of Christmas treats like Panettone, Pan d’Oro and torrone. Every town from small to big is decked out in Christmas lights. Amalfi has scheduled a host of concerts and events for Natale e Capodanno ad Amalfi. This is my first Christmas season here in Italy, so you will all be experiencing it with me. I look forward to blogging all about it here on Ciao Amalfi!

Christmas lights are up all over the Amalfi Coast, and our first stop is the lovely little town of Minori. Their lights are beautiful this year! Above you see the main street heading up into town blanketed with white lights. Gorgeous! Below is the Church of Santa Trofimena.

Love Minori’s Christmas tree this year! You can see this piazza when you drive through town on the Amalfi Coast Road.

    Ciao likeschocolate! I was really impressed by the lights in Minori this year. I agree they are gorgeous! They are different in every city every year, so it's always a treat to see what will happen when the holiday comes! 🙂

Non Amalfi Coast question. Do you wake up in the m Non Amalfi Coast question. Do you wake up in the morning with music or a song in your head? I do nearly every morning and it’s curious to me what shows up. Usually it’s something I’ve been listening to, but sometimes it’s really random, like someone’s left the music room door slightly ajar in the brain. This morning it was a jaunty version of “Loch Lomond” from the 1940s sung by Maxine Sullivan. (You’d think that would be from the random category but I actually listened to it yesterday.) So that’s what was swinging about in my head as I took a walk early this morning. 🎶
Happy Burns Night! I love a country that has a hol Happy Burns Night! I love a country that has a holiday for their national poet. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 Here’s one of my favorite poems he wrote.

Musing On The Roaring Ocean
by Robert Burns

Musing on the roaring ocean, 
Which divides my love and me; 
Wearying heav’n in warm devotion, 
For his weal where’er he be. 

Hope and Fear’s alternate billow 
Yielding late to Nature’s law, 
Whispering spirits round my pillow, 
Talk of him that’s far awa. 

Ye whom sorrow never wounded, 
Ye who never shed a tear, 
Care-untroubled, joy-surrounded, 
Gaudy day to you is dear. 

Gentle night, do thou befriend me, 
Downy sleep, the curtain draw; 
Spirits kind, again attend me, 
Talk of him that’s far awa!
