La Befana snuck over from Italy to surprise Janet with presents yesterday. That witch is such a scoundrel, but she's obviously dedicated to her job of providing presents for all boys and girls.
La Befana is the Christmas witch - or just an old woman - who flies on her broom to give presents to boys and girls in Italy on Epiphany (6 January), which marks the official end of the holiday season. You get a couple smaller personal gifts on Christmas, but more tend to show up on Epiphany, along with a hearty Buona Befana! She looks very comfortable on our Christmas tree, but she'll be packing up to head to Sicily soon.
