I'm very nervous today since I received an anonymous letter saying that this Christmas I will receive such a special surprise that I will not forget it. I don't know who could have written that! I have thought carefully and I don't think it's my son Alberto, because although he lives in Germany, he has already told us that he was going to spend Christmas Eve with us, therefore there would be no surprise. Then there is my beloved sister Luisa, who is usually traveling the world on educational and pedagogical missions in underdeveloped countries. What if it's her? Will she be coming home this Christmas?
