Startribune: Rome has a special glitter for the holidays

Rome has a special glitter for the holidays

Rome, always wonderful, may be at its best in December. Here is a sampling of traditions and places that help the holiday season shine. Each year a different region of Europe donates a tree to decorate St. Peter's Square at Christmastime. This year's offering, which was lit on Dec. 16, was a 90-foot fir from the town of Eferding, in Upper Austria. On Christmas Eve, a life-sized Nativity scene, with wooden figures, adds to the holiday show.
