Escape the hectic grocery store lines this Thanksgiving.

You are more likely to see Nativity scenes than Christmas trees during your Roman Christmas adventure. If you are lucky you will see the Zampognari, traveling musicians, stop in front of the Nativity scenes and play some Christmas music. You might catch a glimpse of ‘La Befana’ the kindly Christmas witch that children leave their shoes out for her to fill with goodies. Congregate at Vatican Square on Christmas day to observe the Pope give his blessing.

As with any Italian occasion, food plays a major role in the Italian New Year celebration. Lentils symbolize prosperity and good fortune for the upcoming year and are often accompanied with pork, usually in the form of a sausage. Sip the Italian sparkling wine, Prosecco as you enjoy the fireworks display – Italians believe the fireworks drive out the evil forces of the past year and the lights welcome in the New Year.

A New Year tradition in Spain is to eat twelve grapes, one for each of the twelve chimes that rings in the New Year. After your grapes have been eaten, then the party can begin! Barcelona is associated with the fantastical architectural feats of Catalan artist Antonio Gaudí. Sauntering down Las Ramblas, the city’s popular pedestrian boulevard, will help build up an appetite for some of the city’s fresh seafood or perhaps a tapas crawl. Celebrate the new year in Barcelona this year!
