Decor with cookies
I have been buying these chocolate cookies for many years
and I must have been too busy eating them to notice that they could have been used as Christmas decorations!
I bet that this year for the first time, the children will "give me a hand" to undo the Christmas tree!

Every cloud has a silver lining
Sometimes in life, certain events, that at first appear to be a nuisance, end up being opportunities to change perspectives.
Since my car is still being repaired, I try to walk as much as possible, but sometimes, I must cover longer distances by taxi or by bus.
If on the one hand waiting times are very long, on the other, not driving allows to better observe all what that surrounds you. Walking is also very pleasant, especially if you're in good company.
So, although impeded to move rapidly, I've done my best to keep my little, pleasant habits.
Have breakfast with a hot cappuccino and a croissant.
Have lunch with my daughter at the nearby Dulcamara, taking advantage of the Christmas break,
and do some window shopping with her, as to find new ideas to add to our Christmas wish list.
Little habits that, when accomplished without using the car, become even more pleasant and stressless, and are beneficial to my health and for the environment.
No car? No problem! :-)

My Christmas tree
I haven't had time yet to buy the slightest Christmas gift but, at least, I have clear ideas about what I want to give.
Indeed, I have spent this last week fighting against water dripping from my ceiling
and shuttling my car on a break-down van.
But in spite, or because, of these mishaps, my Christmas tree is all dressed up

First signs of Christmas
I recently read, that Rome cannot compete with Paris, London or New York with regard to Christmas spirit. I must admit that, although Romans are very much into Christmas celebrations, the city does not express their excitement with the same intensity.
After having spent a dozen years in the Italian capital, I have noticed a growing impoverishment in the Christmas ornaments of the streets. When I moved to Rome the central Via Condotti looked gorgeous: fir trees with big red bows and lights adorned the sides of the road, and a long red carpet ran along the entire route. But 3 days later,

(Christmas) ace in the hole. N.2
Close to the church of St. Louis of the French, that boasts three world renowned canvases of Caravaggio (The Calling of St Matthew, The Inspiration of Saint Matthew and The Martyrdom of Saint Matthew), is located a shop, that carries an incredibly wide range of design objects, ExArte.
Among others, I loved these wall clocks, depicting the most famous Rolex watches
and these coffee cups with a tray similar to those for pastries
as well as this set of magnetized knives, having an unbelievable sharp blade.
But the choice is much wider: bottles, glasses, vases...
...and also Christmas decorations, pieces of furniture, table cloths, radios, technological telephones, trendy bags, bookends in the shape of a capital letter and much much more.
This was my favorite: a silver crouched man looking like a bird.
And having space at home, why not this table football to have fun during winter afternoons?

During the last few years, every time I wanted to give something different and unusual, I bought a SMART BOX.
A SMART BOX is a voucher, that has the form of a booklet, containing innumerable offers of the same gift. The choice of possible gifts varies from box to box: from a simple brunch to a gourmet dinner, from a massage to a weekend at a SPA, from a night at a city hotel to two at a castle, including all the possible combinations of all the above. A special section is dedicated to sport activities and adrenaline adventures, such as driving a Ferrari, or jumping from a plane with a parachute.
Furthermore the recipient can use his voucher not only when, but also where, he prefers. Indeed, it is valid for 2 years and its affiliated partners (hotels, restaurants, Spas...) are scattered everywhere, both in Italy and in Europe.
Usually sold in book shops, but also online, its cost starts from 24,90 up to 269,90 Euros.
Excluding kids, this is a present that suits most of the people, no matter their age.

What's your (Christmas) ace in the hole ?
And here we are.
The first decorations start to peep in some shop windows, just to remind us that another year has almost gone and Christmas' s at the door. And this means, that we will soon be overwhelmed by days of frenetic shopping and of running around the city in search of that "special present", that has no name yet. Days of rush and of interminable queues. Days spent looking for a parking place and for a dazzling gift. In one word: stressful days of chaos.
To avoid this waste of energy, I have a plan: to collect from each of you, and disclose to all of you through my blog, those gift tips that will hopefully help all of us to cope with Christmas shopping with a relaxed state of mind and clear ideas.
Send me an e-mail saying in which object, store or flea market, you have found an answer to the eternal dilemma behind the question, "OMG, what gift?".
And do not forget to involve your friends and all those from whom you may receive a valuable suggestion!
As the Greek fabulist Esopo said: "Unity is strenght". And in this case, our strenght means our survival to pre-Christmas time!! :))

A sweet Saturday
Nothing is as pleasant to me as sharing moments of life with those I love. It doesn't matter what we share, it matters that we do it. So, when on Saturday my daughter asked me to take her downtown for lunch, as to have a deserved break from her huge amount of homeworks, I was more than happy to spend a few hours with her.
She was actually looking for a winter jacket, but while walking down Via Borgognona, we could not avoid entering Ladurée's newly opened shop.

A weekend in the name of art
Somehow, I am proud of myself for having visited the exhibition "Guttuso 1912-2012". Until last Friday, I was absolutely sure I did not like his paintings, but then I realized, that my judgement dated back to a long time ago. And remembering Thoreau's quote: "Things do not change, we change", I wondered whether my artistic taste had changed meanwhile. If so, why not approaching Guttuso's art once again? After a few phone calls, I had all set: friends, tickets and a late evening dinner reservation.

About art and emotions
If you're going to visit the beautiful exhibition at Palazzo delle Esposizioni, do not miss the movie, that retraces the history of Paris through the shoots of Robert Doisneau.
As I watched it, I wondered whether I love photographs more than videos. And I still have no answer. Because if the first ones immortalize an instant and fix it in a single image, the second ones capture a sequence of movements and record a sound or a voice, which would be otherwise lost.
What I am sure of, instead, is that I have been caught by a poignant sense of time passing, while observing all the photos of "Paris en Liberté".

How beautiful were those days
When I was young, but very young, school started the 1st of October and ended right after mid-June.
We had three full months of vacation.
It didn't matter, where we would have gone or what we would have done: not going to school was enough to BE on holiday.
To those few, owning a beach house, summer meant moving and changing town and habits for a while. Each year, a renewed adventure, substantially consisting in rediscovering places -and all the changes that had meanwhile occurred- and friends who, year after year, had grown a bit, had new interests and higher goals in life.
The first get together, after nine months spent away from each other, was tremendously exciting.

Quote of the day
Unfortunately, Stendhal was right. When love is involved, too often what seemed a good match, turns out to be the wrong one.
So, let's give time to every relationship. Because, if the other's good sides are the first to be seen (and shown), the worst ones are always kept hidden, for as long as possible.
If, despite them, the glance in our eyes does not fade, then, and only then, we can hope to have chances it will work.
