Life in Italy | It's the Most Wonderful Time of Year as Milan and Rome Deck the Halls.

Buongiorno! Today's video is a walk through the streets of Milan, and then Rome, to look at the Christmas decorations. I've been going back and forth this month as I prepare for the big move after Christmas. This month was/is STRESSFUL. I'm trying to enjoy the season. This time of year is difficult after our parents' passing. To be honest, I've been so busy with work and this move, I haven't had time to sit with my grief. Or maybe time helps. Our dad passed away on November 1st last year. Christmas 2024 was a blur. I haven't played any carols yet. I will get on that right away. It's not Christmas until I hear The Christmas Song by Nat King Cole. That was THE Christmas Album growing up. Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays! #milan #milano #lifeinitaly #rome #roma Contents of this video: 00:00 - Intro 00:36 - Walking Around the Duomo in Milan 04:15 - The Brera Neighborhood 04:43 - A Holiday Surprise at The Portrait Hotel 05:37 - Walking Through the Christmas Village 09:46 - The Christmas Tree in Rome, Piazza del Popolo 10:43 - Walking In Rome's Historic Center I hope you've enjoyed this video.

Thank you for watching my newish channel, My Bittersweet Life/La Mia Vita Argodolce, where I focus on all things Italiano, lifestyle, and Saint Martin/Anguilla. I call it my bittersweet life because as a woman "of a certain age", there are so many changes. Some are positive and some are heartbreaking. I recently lost both my parents and my life is not the same. I have to figure out this new normal. I'm not a fan. Zero out of ten. While there is more public discussion about THE CHANGE, the narrative about older women (especially Stateside) is negative. Is it all la dolce vita under the Roman sun? No, but I'm determined to enjoy this phase of my life. I was so busy worrying all the time, stressing about things I had no control over, and buying into a value system that was not my own, that I sometimes didn't see the wonderful things that were right in front of me. I plan to publish a new long form video on the first and third Sunday on the month and a Short weekly. Let's talk! #movingabroad #expatlife #italy #immigration #genx #immigrant #expat
