Extend Christmas with La Befana: Italian gift-giving witch

Even though Christmas is over doesn't mean that you need to stop the fun, right?

Many variations of Italian folklore tell of a witch flying on a broom the night of January 5th giving small gifts and candy to well-behaved Italian children in their shoes.  Those who are naughty get, yes you guessed it, coal.  Bring a little Italian into your life and have La Befana visit your house by leaving little treats in your shoes.
