I grew up hearing the story of La Befana from my Nonni. We receive gifts from Befana on the 6th of January because she missed the opportunity to visit baby Jesus with the Three Wise Men since she was busy sweeping. She delivers gifts to all the children in hopes that one will be received by Jesus. This story is very sweet and I love having a unique Christmas tradition from my Italian background. Included in my piece are the cookies I make with my Nonni every year around Christmas.
