The trunk of Christmas (or holes de Noel) is now a classic and always makes her look good, you can decorate with ciocclato is really delicious!
Today, however, I wanted something else, perhaps this "white" Christmas with the snow that covers most of Italy has influenced me ... and to remove the real influence, one that brings us to the bitter cold and a bit 'of vitamin C can only be good.
At the end of this speech abstruse what I mean?
