PM Mama, this post just touches my heart. Real Italians are display their pride with actions and not tanning, lol. You put it perfectly by saying "they just are" I don't know how to describe it any other way. And its definitly not the lifestyle portrayed on the tv show. Now I can't wait for a good old fashioned Italian Christmas Eve!!
