gothikmausOMG I've just drawn the greatest Christmas card ever! Or maybe I should say the crackiest. Is that even a word?!
I also had the peculiar experience of writing about my uncle's death for the newspaper. He was one of the local partisans who took part in the Resistance war from 1943 to 1945 and died a few days ago. He was my dad's eldest brother and I knew he was involved in the war in some way, but my father's never known much because my uncle didn't like talking about it. Today we talked to another uncle of mine and we found out some interesting facts, like his nickname. Every partisan used to have one in order to confuse the police and some nicknames stuck even after the end of the war. It's unbelievable how so many young people (my uncle was 18 at the time) went and fought for freedom. And I mean really fought, not just organised a strike or went to a demonstration: those boys fought against Nazi soldiers, for Heaven's sake.
And now I'll go watch Cinderella. The feminist in me always says fairy tales with a princess waiting for Prince Charming should be banned, but damn, Disney cartoons are the best.
