Buondì.
And ‘Buone Feste’ to all twenty thousand or so OnlineItalianClub.com members around the world.
Wherever you are, we hope you have a relaxing and enjoyable holiday, or if you’re working (as we are, see the P.S.) that you at least get a break from the usual routine and nice things to eat/drink.
Club members who are also EasyItalianNews.com fans – and I’m pleased to assume that that’ll be most of you, as they have more than sixteen thousand ‘subscribers’ – will have a little more time than usual on both Boxing Day (Dec. 26th) and the second day of 2025, both of which are Thursdays.
EIN normally publishes three, free, text + audio bulletins of ‘easy’ news each week, on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays.
Each one is prepared over the previous 36-72 hours, with articles written on topics covered in the Italian-language media, audio recorded, images found, and the final ‘bulletin’ formatted and checked.
However, because of the way the public holidays fall this year, getting the next two Thursday bulletins done would mess up both Christmas Day and New Year’s Day for the half-dozen or so people involved, several of whom are family members.
So we decided to skip them.
Yesterday’s (Tuesday’s) bulletin was emailed automatically to subscribers as usual (read/listen to it on their website, here), but the next one won’t be until Saturday.
Ditto next week: Tuesday, not Thursday, resuming Saturday.
Then back to normal with bulletins three times a week, on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays.
If you have no idea what I’m taking about, check out their website (EasyItalianNews.com). It’s totally free to access and hosts hundreds of text + audio bulletins going back as far as 2018.
To find ‘back issues’ on the website, look for the ‘widgets’ near the bottom of the ‘sidebar’, one showing the month’s output (click on the dates to go to each one) and the other giving access to the archive by month and year.
Subscribing to receive all new bulletins via email is also free, by the way, for the at least four thousand club members who haven’t, yet.
Just enter your email address on this page then click the confirmation link that will be sent to you.
Così.
Gotta take Bug to the park now, to use up some of his excess bounce before an extended Christmas lunch.
Di nuovo, buon Natale a tutti voi!
