 On December 25 its Christmas day in Italy and the name of it over there is Natale. Why they celebrated this holiday is because of the two origins: the familiar traditions of Christianity blended with the pagan traditions predating the Christmas era. A delightful, but rapidly disappearing tradition in Italy, is the ushering in of the coming festivities by the Piferari or fifers. They descend from the mountains of the Abruzzo and Latium playing inviting and characteristic tunes on their bagpipes, filling the air with anticipation for the joyous celebration to come.

 Ingredients  2 cups milk  1 cup heavy cream  4 egg yolks  1/2 cup sugar  Directions  In a medium saucepan, mix milk and cream. Warm until foam forms around the edges. Remove from heat.  In a large bowl, beat the egg yolks and sugar until frothy. Gradually pour the warm milk into the egg yolks, whisking constantly. Return mixture to saucepan; cook over medium heat, stirring with a wooden spoon until the mixture gels slightly and coats the back of the spoon. If small egg lumps begin to show, remove from heat immediately.  Pour the mixture through a sieve or fine strainer into a bowl. Cover, and chill for several hours or overnight.  Pour the mixture into an ice cream maker, and freeze according to the manufacturer's instructions. Transfer to a sealed container, and freeze until firm. If the gelato is too firm, place it in the refrigerator until it reaches the desired consistency
