lol

For some reason I just thought of my Christmases in my youth.

Dominick the Donkey, the Italian Christmas Donkey was always played :)...

When Santa visits his Paesans with Dominick he’ll be,
Because the reindeer cannot climb the hills of Italy

God I miss my youth.

My nephews are about as Italian as the pilgrims were :)

The old timers are dropping off.

But the memories remain :)

My nephews didn’t even play the Tarantella at his wedding 3 years ago :(

The times they are a changin

“Dominick the Donkey, the Italian Christmas Donkey was always played :)..” Many years ago I saw Lou Monte in person, he was a hoot. I couldn’t understand many of his routines because I believe he had a Neapolitan accent. My family was from Abruzzi, different slant on the language.

Yeah, nowadays kids talk big diversity but certainly do not employ it. They forget all the old recipes and only want vegan tofu or MickeyD immature garbage
