Being 100% Sicilian I can truly appreciate the story. I must have had 25 Christmas Eves just like the story. Now with my own kids grown and my parents gone we have continued the tradition except I do all the cooking.

This is the most well written piece I have ever seen anywhere on the internet. It made me laugh out loud. We Portuguese have similar values, and Christmas traditions as Italians and in my mind's eye, I could see my family playing all the roles in that story. Old World Portuguese also agree that, if it swims, eat it. The only thing different would be less pasta and different spices.
By the way, if your family is anything like mine, I assume the decibel level is quite high at family functions.
Well done, FreeBallin'. I hope we hear more from you soon.

That's too good, and from another italian too accurate. I'm stealing it!

That was hilarious.

I can appreciate some of it as I'm also 100% Italian and spend every Christmas Eve the same way with my whole family (except I don't dare eat the fried smelts with the heads on them or the whole squids that look very slimy ).

Awesome story, I love all that good Italian food.
