Aldik Home (https://www.aldikhome.com/) always puts on a grand display for Christmas, and each year we make a point to visit, take some photographs, and pick up a new ornament or two. A great Christmas tradition for us and close to home, too.

“The Castello di Milazzo (English: Milazzo Castle) is a castle and citadel in Milazzo, Sicily. It is located on the summit of a hill overlooking the town, on a site first fortified in the Neolithic era. The Greeks modified it into an acropolis, and it was later enlarged into a castrum by the Romans and Byzantines. The Normans built a castle, which was further modified and enlarged during the Medieval and Early Modern periods. It is now in good condition, and open to the public.
The castle was built as a result of the strategic importance of the Milazzo peninsula, which commands the Gulf of Patti, the body of water that separates Sicily from the Aeolian Islands. It also commands one of Sicily’s most important natural harbours.[1] — Wikipedia

Since I take most of the photos, I often don’t appear in them. Rosanne forced me to take a selfie just to prove I was here. – Douglas
