La Befana
La Befana: An Italian Night After Christmas | Sunday Frey-Blanchard
38 posts | 1 read | 1 to read
A poetic adaptation of the tradition of La Befana, and the Italian Epiphany celebration. La Befana is an old woman who hears of the birth of Christ from several visitors who knock on her door late at night looking for supplies and directions to the new "child king". She sends them away, preferring to be left to her cleaning, but then she sees the star in the heavens and has a change of heart. It starts her on a quest and she begins delivering gifts to the children she passes as she searches for the Christ child.

So its been a few years since i hosted the Little Christmas Swap and i was thinking of doing it again this year. Im just trying to see how many people would be interested. Its also been a few years since i hosted the Lonely Hearts Club swap for Valentines Day so im thinking of bringing that one back too. Both were 1 book and some treats. The Little Christmas opening day would be January 6th.

Would anyone be interested in one or both swaps?

JenlovesJT47 Me! 🙋🏻‍♀️ 1w

🎄Please dont forget to post when your package arrives🎄

Just checking in to see where everybody is with mailing their #littlechristmasswap packages!

We seem to be in good shape as far as shipping other than an issue with Canada Post. If you have a package that needs to go to or within Canada i suggest you ship it asap.
I have reached out by email to littens that this may impact.

We are 3 1/2 weeks from opening day! 🤗

Back for a third year is the #LittleChristmasSwap

This is a low key swap of just one book and some candy!

Open internationally!

I know opening day isnt until January 6th but we all know how stressful delivery has been as of late. Please keep that in mind if shipping media mail. I would encourage you to ship well before Christmas.

Signups are open now until Nov 18th and matches will be sent out Nov 21st.

We are just a little over three weeks away from #LittleChristmas opening day!

I know there are some major delays happening with the USPS, so i would encourage you to ship soon if you havent already!

Im going to make this easier!
If you have not shipped your package please update me on when you think you will ship it!

A lot of people just shipped, so i will check in at the end of next week with who has and has not received their package!

Chrissyreadit In my area it looks like priority can take two weeks- but I won‘t know until my packages actually arrive. 4y

bookish_wookish Thanks! 🎄🎁 @bookishgal71 4y
Bookishgal71 FYI, I mean the one I sent has been delivered. 🤪 I haven‘t received one yet but I‘m sure it‘s in the works. I‘ve seen pics of USPS sorting rooms and it seems nightmarish. 4y
Bookishgal71 And one more thing, the inner gifts of mine are wrapped and my recipient can open her outer box. I‘m all done now. 🤪🤪 4y
robinb Mine is still in transit (mailed 15th), but unfortunately the location has not been updated recently. :( I am watching the tracker closely and will post when I see that it's arrived. I wanted to keep my recipient surprised, but may need to contact them to keep them from worrying. I have hopes that since Christmas is over, things will start moving again. 4y
bookish_wookish Ok! Thanks for the update! @robinb If you want me to let your match know so it doesnt spoil the surprise just let me know! 4y
robinb @bookish_wookish that would be fine, if you don‘t mind. I appreciate the offer! 4y
