At Epiphany, Italians are visited by La Befana, the Christmas witch. Like Claus, she arrives via the chimney with gifts. But she also brings coal for the naughty children and may take them back home to her child-guzzling husband.

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.
