This year in Bagni di Lucca a wonderful team has created La Casa Di Babbo Natale in Villa Web, the villa famous for its part time resident, Lord Byron. My friend Paola kindly visited to take some photos so that we can all see Santa’s house.

Walk up from La Villa, past the Terme, and up to Villa Web.

Open the front door…

Santa was out, probably discussing travel arrangements with his helpers and getting the toys sorted. His chair was waiting for his return.

Santa’s green helpers were on hand to show Paola around.

Santa’s bedroom looked comfortable and inviting. He needs his rest before the big day.

The fire was alight, waiting for Santa’s return.

The kitchen is looking festive and the table is set ready for Christmas.

There is a desk where children can sit to write letters to Santa. Several years ago we visited Santa’s home in Finland where we saw the post office where their letters arrive. There are more letters from Italian children than from other countries.

Paola took a look a Santa’s list. I’m sure our names will be on it.

Well done to all those who set up Casa di Babbo Natale! Thank you Paola for sharing it with us.

I hope everyone has a wonderful Christmas and an excellent 2018.
