Today is tradition in Italy to hang socks (to a fire or Christmas tree) so in the night Befana comes with gifts if you are good and charcoal if you are bad .. it’s easier trust in every one has a grumpy old but sweet lady that loves you

La Befana alla finestra
sente e vede,e s’allontana.
Passa con la tramontana,
passa per la via maestra,
trema ogni uscio, ogni finestra.

E che c’è nel casolare?
un sospiro lungo e fioco.
Qualche lucciola di fuoco
brilla ancor nel focolare.
—Giovanni Pascoli

Don't forget to thank La Befana, the Italian Christmas Witch! She was asked to deliver gifts to Baby Jesus, and she passed on it.

Later on, she changed her mind - but it was January 6th by then - so she decided instead to give her gifts to the children of Italy instead.

The Feast of the Epiphany celebrates when the Three Wise Men realize who baby Jesus is. They stop by and ask old Befana for directions. She doesn't know, but offers a place to stay. They offer to take her with them, but she refuses ... (1/2)

In Italian lore, the witch Befana visits homes on Epiphany Eve to fill children's stockings with gifts if they've been good, or coal if they've been bad. According to legend, she tried to follow the Three Wise Men to see baby Jesus, & is still searching today.
