Christmas in Italy is not normally a time when Italians make long lists of all the people they need to write Christmas cards to, spending a small fortune in stamps and stationery.
In fact, probably because families still often live close together in small knit communities, the Christmas card tradition is virtually unknown here.
But if it happens that you need to wish someone a Merry Christmas in Italian, there are a few ways you can do that.
The classic “auguri” (wishes) works well for almost every occasion – from birthdays to weddings and the birth of a child.
It’s great for Christmas too, but if you’re a die-hard Anglo who wants to write something more significat on your Italian Christmas card, you might need something a bit more elaborate.
The team at Italymag has put together a list of ways you can do this, including the traditional “buon natale e felice anno nuovo”.
They’ve also included a few other Italian language tips you’ll need to know if you live in Italy – like the fact that Santo Stefano is Boxing Day.
