well, I think no one :d but it´s a sort of tradition, everyone do it because it does so for centuries. weird or not, it´s actually in our DNA, we can not exist and celebrate our holidays without all those superstitions :p

 

I remember when I was younger and my uncle wanted to go to the bathroom my grandma literally started screaming "Jesus Christ ! Are you crazy ? sit down immediately !". :lol:

 

Well, if people do it 'because that's how it's supposed to be' I personally find it a lot easier to understand than if people do it because they genuinely believe someone will die if someone gets up to early :p 

 

"So I can't go to the bathroom?"

 

"No way man!"

 

"Ok then...you might want to keep your nose closed starting in half a minute or so :evil: "

 

:p

Traditionally on 8th December in Italy it is the day where Christmas lights and decorations are put on streets, houses and so on, although now you can find them already by the half of November. Naples is very famous for its craftmen skilled in creating "Presepi" (I read the correct translation should be cribs).

Specifically, there's a place called San Gregorio Armeno, in the historical center of the city, that is known as the road of the cribs.

Pieces coming from these artisans are incredibly famous as they are handmade. They worth a lot of money and historically some of the masterpieces made here can be found in famous cribs around the world.

 

More information about the place can be found here
