In Italy, Christmas presents are traditionally brought by a witch named La Befana. According to folklore, she delivers gifts to children on the night of January 5th, known as Epiphany Eve. La Befana is said to ride on her broomstick, filling stockings with sweets for good children and coal for those who misbehave. This custom adds a unique twist to the holiday gift-giving tradition in Italy.
