Last night I had Christmas dinner with the international girls in Italy. It’s always fun to gather once or twice a year. We had a wonderful meal, and a few courageous gals sang Christmas Carols.

The waiters’ sort of stared at us while others smiled.
Tis it not the season to be merry?
I also learned a few things!

They say bits and bobs instead of Knick Knacks?
OR Arty Farty = from the Cambridge English Dictionary; arty-farty definition: trying too hard to make other people admire your artistic knowledge or ability
AND Willi Nilly = This expression has two slightly differing yet related meanings – it can mean ‘in a disorganised way’ or ‘whether with or against your will’ https://www.ecenglish.com/
This said I would like to thank my followers on social media. A big thank you for your comments, likes and support. I guess someone out there reads my stuff although I don’t post very often.
