Drolleries
by Deborah Henderson
In the uppermost
northern region of the Mediterranean,
nestled between the tallest of snow covered mountains,
lives La Bellanosa family, a family known throughout
the land for its wonderful pastries and candies. As
the winds turn to the north, as the first whispers
of fall blow across the valley, the family begins
to gather and ready themselves for their trip north
- north to where Santa and his friends gather for
the annual delivery of toys and goodies to deserving
girls and boys.
