This Christmas story is from two years ago, but I don't think the holiday spirit has an expiration date. Does it?
In English:
A Gift for Santa Claus
Santa Claus loved sitting on the veranda, in his rocking chair, warmed by the fireplace, watching the snow-capped mountain peaks and the clouds that adorned them with fantasy and elegance.
On the windows, the ice-embroidered designs were now melting. The windows clearly revealed the enchantment of dawns and sunsets with continuously changing colors.
Winter was about to end, and Santa Claus, the reindeer, and the hardworking Elves of the Woods had rested enough after the great work of the last holidays. Soon, they would need to start reorganizing ideas before another December arrived.
In the warmth of the first spring sun, with nature awakening from the long winter, plans for toys of all sorts began to take shape. In the evening, at sunset, sitting in his favorite chair, he joyfully awaited the arrival of the moon and stars.... read more
E in Italiano:
Un regalo per Babbo Natale
Babbo Natale amava stare seduto nella veranda, sulla sua sedia a dondolo, al caldo del camino, osservando le vette innevate delle montagne e le nuvole che le decoravano con fantasia ed eleganza.
Sui vetri, i disegni ricamati dal ghiaccio si stavano ormai sciogliendo. Le finestre svelavano con chiarezza l’incantesimo di albe e tramonti con i colori che cambiavano continuamente.
L’inverno stava per finire e Babbo Natale, le renne e i laboriosi Elfi dei Boschi si erano riposati abbastanza dopo il gran lavoro dell'ultime festività. A breve avrebbero dovuto iniziare a riorganizzare le idee prima che arrivasse un altro Dicembre.

🎙️ I had the absolute pleasure of being a guest on the After 40 Podcast with Dr. Deborah Heiser, PhD, where we discussed something very close to my heart—helping my mom, embrace her passion for storytelling later in life and finding a powerful driving force in her life. 🌟
My mom grew up in a small village in the hills around #Florence in post-war #Italy, filled with memories of enchanting #Tuscan nights and captivating #tales. For years, those stories lived in her imagination—until her 70s, when she decided it was time to share them with the world. Together, we created Storie Sotto Le Stelle—a website and podcast where her stories come to life in Italian and English, connecting generations through the magic of #storytelling.
Writing together has become more than just crafting stories—it’s about discovering joy and purpose, or what the Japanese call #ikigai. It’s proof that it’s never too late to take creative risks, rediscover talents, and connect deeply with loved ones. 🌟
Through storytelling, we’ve built a bridge between generations, where our imaginations meet, and where new possibilities are born. Each moment spent brainstorming, drafting, and laughing over the wild twists our stories take has become a cherished part of our journey. It’s an opportunity to connect in ways we hadn’t before, creating not just stories but memories that will stay with us forever.
The heart of the message is clear: after 40, life offers us the chance to pause, reevaluate, and redefine what truly matters. Whether it’s through storytelling, painting, hiking, or any other pursuit, the key is to embrace what brings you joy and let it guide you toward purpose and connection. 🌟
🖋️ “The #magic isn’t just in the stories we create but in the process of sharing this journey together.”🎧 I invite you to listen to the episode and discover how we turned her lifelong love of storytelling into a creative journey.

In this photo, you might be able to make out a flat rocky platform in the river. The land rises above it to form a little island. It's accessible depending on how high the river is... and how far you can jump without falling in! This is "Horace's Island". Horace was my amazing uncle. Here he would play when he was little, defending his island from intruders, allowing only the select few friends on. Woe be to those that attempted an invasion! They'd go home very soggy no doubt. 😊 #FamilyStories

A friend of mine is just a little over 100, in remarkable physical health and unbelievable mental acuity for any age. He and my deceased father share so many things: same birth year, both WWII Marines and even at same camps and South Pacific campaigns. So many times yesterday, as we talked thru the afternoon, I found myself realizing that I didn't ask my own Dad about some historical event.
So, if you're fortunate enough to have living parents, grandparents, etc, Get their stories. Ask questions. Once everyone is gone, it's too late. #family #generations #FamilyStories #history

Family lore is that my brother auditioned for and was going to be one of kids who plays Little Ricky on the I Love Lucy show, but he got diaper rash and so got scratched from filming.
No idea if it's true, but it's a good story.
(My parents *did* live in LA at the time and my grandmother worked at one of the better-known casting agencies, so it's entirely possible.)
(and I just saw a clip and my brother at that age *did* look a lot like the other actors)

Sit down with any #Appalachian and you will get more than just a #story.
This quote also describes someone in my life that recently passed away. Our relationship definitely had hardship and vulnerability but the stories .... The stories are what remain and they deserve to be heard.

My Uncle Drex. I used to go "traveling" with him to #cousins where he researched their stories. He was also a long haul truck driver and whenever he was in town, he always let me jump up in the cab and pull the rope of his horn. 🙂

Join me as I share personal stories of those who traveled the Hillbilly Highway, those that were left behind, and those that went back.
An Appalachian's life on the Highway was not always easy.

One of my favorite stories from doing family research for a friend. Her Italian-immigrant ancestor murdered a man in Ardmore, Pennsylvania in 1913 because he was dancing. Yep, dancing. He was eventually convicted, spent time in Eastern State Penitentiary, and later settled in Columbia, Pennsylvania. #FamilyHistory #FamilyStories #Genealogy #History #MurderedForDancing #1910s #20thcentury #EasternStatePenitentiary #Philadelphia #ArdmorePA @histodons

Personally I love to read posts that make the individuals come to life on the page, rather than a list of names and dates. The more that person becomes real, the more fascinating they become. I suspect we all grow attached to people to whom we are not related, simply by researching them for someone else’s tree.
So for me #FamilyStories please…

There was a raccoon in my mom’s attic during a family get-together.
My 6’4” brother put a laundry basket on his head for “protection.” I brought paper towels. That was the plan.
It did not go to plan.

Raccoon patrol, questionable strategy, and one very unimpressed attic resident.

The Farmer’s Helpers 🚜🌾
I grew up helping my dad and mom on the farm — not always the help he hoped for, but we showed up. From avoiding wet hay in the barn to working the old Ford tractor, every chore carried a lesson.

Survival Manual for Living with a Properly Educated Italian
My mother-in-law doesn’t give advice. She drafts constitutions. Sheets must be changed exactly the right number of times, pasta must be weighed, cold is a matter of opinion—and control is a lifestyle.
Then came socks. Bronchitis. And a cat.
A gentle collapse of perfect order, fur included.#CharlasDeCafé #ItalianLife #FamilyStories #Humor #EverydayPhilosophy

This Christmas story is from two years ago, but I don't think the holiday spirit has an expiration date. Does it?
In English:
A Gift for Santa Claus
Santa Claus loved sitting on the veranda, in his rocking chair, warmed by the fireplace, watching the snow-capped mountain peaks and the clouds that adorned them with fantasy and elegance.
On the windows, the ice-embroidered designs were now melting. The windows clearly revealed the enchantment of dawns and sunsets with continuously changing colors.
Winter was about to end, and Santa Claus, the reindeer, and the hardworking Elves of the Woods had rested enough after the great work of the last holidays. Soon, they would need to start reorganizing ideas before another December arrived.
In the warmth of the first spring sun, with nature awakening from the long winter, plans for toys of all sorts began to take shape. In the evening, at sunset, sitting in his favorite chair, he joyfully awaited the arrival of the moon and stars.... read more
E in Italiano:
Un regalo per Babbo Natale
Babbo Natale amava stare seduto nella veranda, sulla sua sedia a dondolo, al caldo del camino, osservando le vette innevate delle montagne e le nuvole che le decoravano con fantasia ed eleganza.
Sui vetri, i disegni ricamati dal ghiaccio si stavano ormai sciogliendo. Le finestre svelavano con chiarezza l’incantesimo di albe e tramonti con i colori che cambiavano continuamente.
L’inverno stava per finire e Babbo Natale, le renne e i laboriosi Elfi dei Boschi si erano riposati abbastanza dopo il gran lavoro dell'ultime festività. A breve avrebbero dovuto iniziare a riorganizzare le idee prima che arrivasse un altro Dicembre.
