For all those individuals that celebrate Thanksgiving, I wish everyone of you a very Happy Thanksgiving wherever you are on Thursday. Some of my friends will be traveling with other friends and family -- locally, nationally or internationally. Other friends and acquaintances will be having or are going through a difficult time. It may be the first holiday since a loved one's passing or without a job or being sick or recovering from an illness or whatever. No matter your state of mind and/or health, you are in my prayers and hopes for a better future.

Please be aware: I have attempted to list many but not all the Christmas markets in Italy. However, the above locations, dates and times were either found on their respective web sites, other web sites, billboards and/or on handouts. It was not possible to verify the accuracy of this information for every Christmas market before being listed in this blog entry.

This posting will be updated from now until January, 2010 as I find out about more Christmas markets and events. I would like to thank the following Agenzia per il Turismo (APT) offices for their assistance: Arezzo, Firenze, Pisa, Pistoia, Prato, Siena. Due to being under the weather, I was not able to post all the information that these respective APT offices provided. It will be accomplished in the next few days.
