The majority of Italians will spend Christmas at home, with family or with closest relatives and friends, also due to the concern for the rise of infections and the spread of the Omicron variant.
But the sky thinks about giving magic: and then eyes fixed on a parade of planets and on the
Christmas comet
.
What will be done in these holidays then?
Indicators and surveys show an increase in spending on food compared to last year while reservations in restaurants unfortunately collapse. However, it must be said that the
reinforced Green pass
still allows 3.5 million Italians to return to celebrate Christmas in restaurants, farmhouses and pizzerias, even if it is half compared to 2019, before the pandemic, notes Coldiretti. .
Those who stay at home will have cinemas and programs with
schedules dedicated to Christmas on every TV
, including classics and concerts. Even for those who go to the
theater
there is plenty of choice. As well as for those who will visit museums (to remember the Super green pass) and
exhibitions, from Dali to the cribs
. In addition, there
are endless good reads to do or give away
in these days, among the latest releases also the
yellow ones
.
And the
Christmas menu?
It remains traditional for two out of three Italians: fish and crustaceans for Christmas Eve, traditional meats and first courses for lunch on December 25th, with
broths
, fried
foods and
typical sweets -
panettone and pandoro
above all, even better if artisanal - as customary dictates of the party, also and above all in the local dimension.
But vegan dishes are also established, which will appear on 10% of the tables, and organic or zero km ones, chosen by 5%.
