I arrived in Florence on Saturday, December 1st, the day before the beginning of Advent. Lights decorated every street. Christmas had begun.
The Santa Croce Christmas Market is in full swing, displaying gifts and food. Although advertised as coming from Heidelberg, Germany, I notice booths from all over Europe. The market remains open through December 20 (a week after I have returned home); I still have plenty of time to shop.
Yesterday, however, I made a start. I purchases little notebooks made by special need people affiliated with Il Girasole Cooperativa Sociale.
