Holidays In Georgia: Traditions That Reflect Georgia’s Soul

Blogs, Gift Suggestions /

Way up high in the mountains, there is a gorgeous and ravishing land where people with big hearts live. They are also known for appealing hospitality, love of life, lively intelligence, sense of humor, and reputed longevity. And last but not least, and with absolutely no doubts, their delightful love for wine! Wait-wait, did someone say WINE? It is hard to imagine a world without wine (especially at the moment!), and we have Georgia to thank for its creation! No wonder holidays in Georgia feature so much!

*a little moment for being extra grateful for that*

Wine lovers rejoice – today, we are talking about the proud nation of Georgia!

Italy Holiday Traditions: Embrace La Dolce Vita

Blogs, Christmas Gift Ideas and Traditions /

Warning! This blog about Italy Holiday Traditions is highly recommended for reading for those who:

– Like to crush grapes with his feet to the songs of Andriano Celentano;

– Sit in a checkered blanket with a cat on their lap (you need to respect this person);

– Does not break spaghetti in half (this is almost a crime!)

 –And, of course, for all of those who loves Italia as much as I do!

Q: Where do people take vacations that revolve around food?

A: Eat-aly.

Chao, lovely readers! Frankly speaking, I think I was Italian, in a pasta-life. And it’s not a surprise that I have faced a great desire to write an Italian holiday aperitivo-guide for those of you fond of festivals, rejoicing, stunning pastas, and probably wine.

(Not to mention the sounds of laughter, glass tinkling, and a strong desire to write a reckless text message to your ex.)

Oops, we won’t tell anyone!

Whether planning your next vacation to Italy or just curious about its fascinating culture, knowing the calendar of holidays is important. This remains exceptionally true if you plan to surprise your friends, family, or business associates in Italy with timely gifts. The holidays can be great fun to experience (we know that!) and truly dive into the local culture, but it’s always best to prepare!

Hey, do you see it?

Mother’s Day is hiding and winking at you just around the corner! This year in the USA and many other countries, Mother’s Day falls on May 14th. Make sure you double-check the date for the country you’re in! Even though one day a year isn’t enough to honor one of the greatest women in your life, Mother’s Day is an excellent opportunity to celebrate that special woman.
