When I was 13 my family went to Rome for Christmas. My sister and I stayed awake through the entire journey and fell asleep the second we got to the hotel. We woke up at 2am and ate pasta alla carbonara in bed. The sky was a pale grey the entire trip, but you’ve never seen something as beautiful as the San Pietro Bascilica on Christmas day.
And everywhere we went, we heard George Michael and the rest of Wham! singing “Last Christmas”.
