Natale in Roma

Christmas is definitely in the air in Rome. Christmas stuff was up around the city before Thanksgiving. I guess since they don't have Thanksgiving, there really isn't a day which sets the date in which Christmas stuff can start going up. It seems like every piazza around the city has some type of Christmas market/fair going on. For example, in Piazza Navona there is a market full of shops, game booths, and even a carousel! Instead of coming home for Christmas, my family insisted on coming here to visit me for Christmas so that they could experience an Italian Christmas. I'm glad I get to share with them so far what I have loved about the Christmas season here. Walking around the city at night is always a fun thing, but add all the Christmas stuff and it makes it even 100 times as cool. They even setup a huge Christmas tree out by the Colosseum. Here are a few of my favorite pictures!:
