Buon Natale!
❤❤❤ I’m happy for you Rossella, I didn’t know you landed such good catch 👏👏👏 Tanda Complamenti , I wish my daughter Rossella had the same values as you.
Buon Natale a tutti gli italiani, sia in patria che all'estero! Viva l'America Italiana!
I remember when it was an Italian/American neighborhood. The few holding it down.
Definitely a changing place, but we really enjoyed the spots we got to visit!
Some of those houses really go all-out with the decorating! Reminds me of a stretch of houses in my neighborhood. They take outdoor lights, blow molds and inflatables to a whole new level!
Grazie Mille and Buon Natale
This was phenomenal!!! Made me proud 2BITALIAN! 🇮🇹😇🇮🇹
GRAZIE!
@@ItalianAmerican d'accordo !
It's Brooklyn, NY, not Dyker Heights, NY. But it is the heart of Italian-America in Brooklyn, and at Christmas it is the most joyous and festive place in NYC.
Great video you are all doing a lot for the culture love to see it
Same to you guys! Glad to have Paisani in Chicago pushing so hard for the culture!
Buon Natale! Another great show..
Che belle tradizioni!! ❤❤
Great childhood memories. Thank you!
Our pleasure! So glad you enjoyed!
Lived around the corner on 83rd. in the 50s and 60s, Dyker (or as I pronounce it Dykeah) was the best place to grow up.
Beautiful! If I could only visit this special place at Christmas would be an Italian dream! Buon Natale!!!
LaBella. Love it.
An Italian American heaven on earth!

Feliz Navidad! Oh...err. No. Wait a minute. I mean Buon Natale!
And if you ever run across any of my old girlfriends, don't give them my email.
Buon Natale! That's a good policy!

It is nice to see how Italian Americans celebrate and keep some of our traditions. However, no mention is made of why fish on Christmas Eve? A day of fast and abstinence to prepare for Christmas. Why No mention, that Christmas is the birth of Christ? I see no presepio with infant Jesus? No midnight Mass? Italian American Christmas with no Christ?. The real tradition of Italy you don’t have.
Pfffffffft
You do realize this was during the height of COVID, right? Not every church was open for Mass. And plus, there are MANY Italians from Italy who don’t honor the religious aspects of Christmas either. So kindly keep that thought in the forefront of your mind before you look down on Italian Americans.
