The beautiful orange decoration, below, is hanging on my tree in Australia this Christmas. It was a gift. Oven dried and studded with cloves, the maker told me, while they cook they fill your house with the smell of oranges.
And, memories of oranges or clementines from a Sicilian Christmas past linger and, in particular, a handmade wreath of December foliage from a garden at the foot of Mt Etna.
It was finished with a drop of fruit - clementines from memory.
Christmas Wishes
Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to you all and thank you for reading The Sicilian House blog in 2017.
I am taking a break. Blogs will return in early February.
Salve,
