Re-Post “Il Volo is Coming to Town” ~ Anon. Crew Member
While we are all anxiously awaiting the next visit from our guys – to hopefully a town near us, I changed the words to “Santa Claus is Coming to Town” to adapt to the ll Volo version… “Il Volo is Coming to Town…” Here is my version:
“Il Volo Is Coming To Town”
You better watch out!
You better not cry!
You better not pout!
I’m telling you why.
Il Volo is coming to town!
They’re planning their tour,
From coast to coast.
Gonna find out who loves them the most,
Il Volo is coming to town!
From town to town they’re singing
All of our favorite songs.
From Granada to Surrender
We all want to sing along!
Oh, you better watch out!
You better not cry!
You better not pout!
I’m telling you why.
Il Volo is coming to town!
Long musical interlude…
Piero, Gian, Ignazio
We love you all so much
Can’t wait until we see your smiles
Can’t wait to feel your touch!
Oh, you better watch out!
You better not cry!
You better not pout!
I’m telling you why.
Il Volo is coming
Oh yes they are coming
Il Volo is coming to town!
Can you guess who wrote this? No, it wasn’t me, Jane nor Mary.

‘Twas The Night
- I have a need to post this poem I wrote (mangled) in 2013. It’s my favorite for obvious reasons. Yes…I plan to post it every year.
‘Twas the night before Christmas when all through the villa,
not a creature was stirring, not even Godzilla (couldn’t think of another rhyme)
When, what to my wondering eyes should I hear, (I take liberties)
but a song and three Boys, not tiny, but Dear! (lots of liberties)
I saw Piero, Gianluca and Ignazio too,
up to my rooftop, to my living room they flew!
They were dressed all in Armani, from their head to their foot,
but their clothes were all tarnished, with ashes and soot.
A bundle of love they had in their pack,
and they looked just like heaven, when I calmly stared back!
His eyes how they twinkled! His dimples how merry! (that really is a line!)
Piero’s glasses were there, the color of cherry! (that one’s not)
Gian said not a word but went straight to his work
and filled all my dreams with songs and a perk!
He’d left me Ignazio all covered with bows
and giving a nod up the chimney he rose!
He sprang to his Fiat, to Piero gave a whistle,
and away they both flew, like the down of a thistle.
But I heard him exclaim as they drove out of site,
“Happy Christmas to all, I hope Marie doesn’t bite!”
Easing into CHRISTMAS with Kitty
WHAT? A FEW MORE DAYS! NOoooo!
YEP, a very few; and I have a feeling that some of you may be stuck right here!
Of course, the ultimate goal is here instead right?
So……here are some suggestions that could help. Great for the night before “THE NIGHT BEFORE CHRISTMAS” eve. Huh? Whenever is good too! #1 A warm cup of tea, cocoa, cider, or your choice, hummm! #2 Pull on some warm footies. #3 Grab a fuzzy lap blanket, a comfy chair or sofa, and sit yourself down! (Preferably in front of a fire, but on a sofa will do nicely as well). Good, now just take a deep breath,… or several. NICE!
Next, since you can’t frown and smile at the same time, I don’t think, here are a couple of cute things to bring on that smile, and begin to address the stress. (Hey, it rhymes.)
Now, I found this video. It’s very informative, and entertaining. Christmas Traditions elsewhere, including Italy, (of course).
Okay, it’s time for music! A little nostalgia for Christmas? Enjoy!
Now our guys. A little while back, but beautiful. Watch each of them closely. This is one of my favorites because of their intensity, and the very apparent inner respect with which they regard each other.
Hope this has allowed the beauty of what Christmas is meant to be, to shine bright, and bring you peace. Now it’s time to wish you a very joyous, yet thoughtful……
MERRY CHRISTMAS AND BUON NATALIE!
I do have one more thing to share. I wrote this in December 1970. It is one of my very first attempts at writing poetry. Hope you like it.
CHRISTMAS WISHES
A Christmas card felt sad the day that she was picked to bring,
her Christmas greeting, warm and true, fore she wished that she could sing.
Just like a dove in early morn, a song so sweet and clear,
announcing to a waking world, a bright new day is here.
She wished she could express the thoughts, behind her printed words,
and feel the gratefulness that’s felt, but of course, that was absured!
No, she would simply have to make the best of what she had,
for after all, to bring some joy, was certainly not bad.
She knows the one receiving it, will feel within their heart,
the glowing warmth, her message has endeavored to impart.
And even though it’s Christmas, a time so very dear,
her wishes are sincerely wished, each day throughout the year.
Kathryn Mason (Kitty)
Wishing you peace, love and joy and blessings, as always, KITTY
