Italy is an amazing place!  Every corner you turn, there is something that will take your breath away.  We spent Christmas here, 6 nights.  Christmas is celebrated in a much different way than North America. They don’t have the level of commercialism we have.  It’s more about religion and peace.  I have to say I prefer it this way.  We went to a Christmas Eve mass at a small Catholic church that was one of a few in English and later that night we went to the Vatican Square for the Popes mass.  It was not in English but a fun experience.    The one thing I can say Is won’t miss in Rome is trying to cross the street, man these Italians are crazy drivers!!
