Winter’s coming

The first snow has covered the Alps and the chain of mountains in the Appennines.
Temperatures are reaching 0°. I have always loved autumn for the beauty of the leaves on the trees. I feel cold and love lying  in bed while reading a good book or surfing the web.
It’s getting cold outside and when I wake up in the morning I can see that days are getting shorter and colder. However, there’s some magic in these days. It’s the winter season with the beginning of a new month which is characterized by hopes and family gatherings from 24th December to 6t January in Italy.

There is some magic in the markets where people meet and buy  presents for their children and relatives. It is winter time, but we are looking  forward  to some days to spend together with our best friends.
