@nprofile…cnek who is usually bringing presents in your area? Has that changed over the years?

So yesterday I had the chance to talk with some people over 70. They all confirmed that, when they were kids, they received presents on January 6th from la Befana witch. They used to write her a letter on December 25th. On January 5th night, they put out a plate with some citrus for her (generally, an orange or a mandarin) and, in the morning, they got their presents. If they had behaved badly, they would get nothing or maybe some coal candy.
As I already had heard, Santa was absolutely not a thing in north eastern Italy until... probably the 1980s?
So we had a marvellous witch bringing us presents but *of course* at some point we had to trade her for a red fucker sponsored by US' Coca Cola. I mean, la Befana is still alive and well in my area, but Santa's bullshit is sort of overshadowing her at this point.
I wish we could bring our old traditions back and drop the US stuff. La Befana is a badass. She's both a cute old lady with a golden heart and a terrifying sorceress with a temper. She has no link whatsoever with any christian stuff (the Catholic Church tried to drag her into some bullshit myth about the nativity, but nobody with brains believes that shit, since it's so bizarre and out of place). Her origins are lost in ancient times. Some believe she is Diana (goddess of the moon) in her crone phase. She definitely has strong links with a lot of winter witches and deities from the Germanic and Slavic countries.

@nprofile…27xa è una specialità della stampa italiana, quella di chiamare ragazza/ragazzo per infantilizzare e donna/uomo per aggravare. C'è l'uomo straniero di 20 anni che commette un crimine e la ragazza di 22 che fa le proteste. L'italiano però diventa ragazzo, anche se ammazza una... ragazza? Donna?

@nprofile…exex I would love to have a regional practice but in my area folk magic is entirely mixed up with Catholic stuff. I simply can't with it. I don't care one bit about Jesus, the Virgin Mary, the Saints or the cross. It sucks.

I thought Chappell Roan was going to win "Best New Idiot", given her highly asinine political commentary in 2024.
