Ciao tutti!
It's December 1 (well, it was about an hour ago still), and I decided at the last minute to do another round of my holiday advent calendars. In 2014, I had great fun every day of December on my blog opening a new door each day, sharing something "Venetian" that reminded me of Christmas.
This year I have something similar up my sleeves. I hope you'll flip open a new door with me every day as I countdown to Christmas. I'll have a different photo of an advent calendar that peaks my fancy to share, as well.
For December 1, I'm sharing my version of the 12 Days of Christmas with you. Remember that old favorite Christmas song? Here it is, Venice style.

Make sure you practice so you are all ready for Christmas caroling at the end of the month!
See you all tomorrow when we'll open door #2 together.

As an extra little bonus, I'll post the link to each day's advent calendar from my 2014 blog so you can get a double whammy. I promise, all of this year's posts will be different from those. Enjoy!
