An Italian Christmas Show with a Stand Up Comic 〰️
An Italian Christmas Show with a stand-up comic that wrote the catchy song, “Italian Christmas Time.”
Mike explains where the “KC” comes from & his love for comedy. We get into Italian families, neighborhoods, the 15-minute goodbye when leaving a party, and the noise level of a room full of Italians!
Godfather is a must at Thanksgiving! Is Die Hard a Christmas movie?
Cooking: Do you put olive oil in pasta water? Is it correct to break spaghetti? Sauce or gravy? Macaroni or pasta? Mike tells about his family’s Seven Fishes Christmas Tradition, having homemade wine and then there is PASTINA! (see show notes for recipe). Don’t forget the old-fashioned cookie tin!
Christmas Eve is BIGGER than Christmas Day for Italians: Tommy & Mike tell our family’s traditions which leads into nativity scenes and midnight mass.
The idea behind the song: Italian Christmas Time which brings memories of Sunday dinners, basement kitchens, and multiple refrigerators. Mike brings the show to the song by hoping the old days would come back….So Do I!
