Dear ladies and gentlemen, there are two events dedicated to Natale this coming Saturday:

Dante Alighieri Society’s party:

Celebrate Natale with your family at Dante's 2008 Festa di Natale per i Bambini on Saturday December 6th.
We meet that afternoon from 2:00 PM to 5:30 PM in the comfort of our own  Headquarters House at 2336 15th Ave S in Seattle.

The children, grandchildren and neighbors of you and your friends are all invited to experience a traditional Italian celebration of Christmas.  This  joyous occasion includes  delicious fresh-baked pizzelle, projects with stars, letter-writing, clay and word games, creating a presepio (Nativity scene), reading the La Befana story (and greeting her!) pizza, and tombola with prizes!
Befana also brings each child a Natale gift so be sure to let us know how many children you would like to attend by filling out the registration form in the La voce o or the Natale brochure  available at  monthly meetings.
