Today is Epiphany, which marks the end of the holiday season. According to Italian folklore, on this day the good witch, Befana, brings candy to all the good boys and girls. This is another Italian tradition that we brought to America with us so Currier can grow up with a little culture from his birthplace. Currier was delighted to wake to a Befana doll and scattered candy.
