We were in Rome for last Christmas and didn't find it very "chritmasy". It didn't seem like Christmas but having said that we had a lovely time. I later read that Romans celebrate with food and family, not so much decorations and presents. We had been in the north before that and apart from Bellagio I can't recall anything much in the other places we visited.

Sharon, I am curious also. I will be in Italy Dec 13-23. It looks like Italy, much like a lot of Europe celebrates less "commercially" as we do in the states which I am looking forward to. I see that there is a Christmas Market in Venice that looks like a great family experience. There seems to be music programs in many cities as well. I am looking forward to an intimate visit compared to my first visit this past May.
