Hi to all~
Today is the 10th anniversary of the passing of my dear brother, Charlie Gelo @ age 40 after a long battle with Hodgkin's Lymphoma.
I miss him terribly but, the one thing I miss the most about him was his unique and funny sense of humor. Charlie was the type of person that lit up a room and he was the one you would want to have at your party because he always had a funny joke or story to tell.
So, in honor of him I'd like to present to you all his "funny" version of the 12 days of Christmas- the "Italian" `12 days of Christmas.
Sung to the tune of "The Twelve Days of Christmas":
On the first day of Christmas, my Italian Grandma made for me...
a creamy ricotta cheesecake
2nd Day- 2 Meatballs
3rd Day- 3 Calamari
4th Day- 4 Broccoli rabe
5th Day- 5 Rice-a-balls
6th Day- 6 Baccala
7th Day- 7 Fig cookies
8th Day- 8 Artichokes
9th Day- 9 Honey Balls
10th Day- 10 Linguini with Clams
11th Day- 11 Shrimp Scampi
12th Day- 12 Zeppoles
Enjoy!
From a loving sister,
Sarah Gina

Dear Sarah & Jessica,
ReplyDeleteJust precious, in every way. Charlie passed the "humor baton" on to you and I am sure you have made him very proud. What a sweet tribute. You and Jessica are being watched over by your brother Charlie/Uncle Charlie. He is with you always but in a different way. Always in your heart and always guarding you and your family. God bless our loving and devoted families and God bless Charlie.
Love, Rosemary & John xoxoxo
