3 lambs... one for my grandma's house, one for my auntie's house and one for my and mom's house! Well... we really don't know where it comes from. My mom "asked" to Google for some info but she could not find anything! But, 5 years ago a friend of my mom gave to her the first one. Her friend told my mom to put it on her Christmas Tree. Right on the center of it so the lamb gets all the energy from the lights and ornaments. Then, the first day of the year you need to put it on your front door. The lamb needs to have a red ribbon around its neck. The "tradition" says that having a lamb on your door lets the abundance to come into your house. Wool in spanish is "Lana". A common way to name money here is "Lana". Soooo... the lambs with their wool mean... They have the money! And... very important... you must not buy the lambs. Someone has to give it to you as a gift. What do you do with the lamb from the last year?? You have to give it to someone else to share your good fortune!
My mom says that the "abundance" has not come into our house but we have enough to live everyday without worrying if tomorrow we will have something to eat. And that is very important, right?
This is our lamb that has been on our door all this year...**********************
What I see??
To the right... a nice and blue sky...
To the left... a dark and scary sky!(that happened in the same street!)
Better start walking before it gets all dark!

Hi Lorenza,
Thanks for telling us about the fortune lambs. We were wondering.
You sure look purdy in that dotty dress! You know I would send you some of our snow if only I could. I bet you would enjoy it! BOL
Waggles,

That was cool! I like that and have never heard of that tradition before. It sure is a nice one.
I love your coat Lorenza!
Have a great day!
That's a cool story about the lambs! My humans don't really have cool traditions like that about Christmas... maybe I'll tell them about your lamb tradition.
And stay away from those stormy clouds! It'll dirty your pretty dress!

Hey there Lorenza
Thank you so much for telling us about your Christmas lambs...that is a really interesting story. We love hearing about the cultures of the world. Some traditions last forever despite not quite knowing where they come from. What would we be without some traditions in our lives?
We wish you a prosperous new year - may your lambs multiply.

Gosh that tradition is wonderful Lorenza. We dont have anything like that at our house.
We think the little lamb is working because it's brought you fortune of all your awesome DWB pals lol.

Very interesting culture of the fortune lamb placement practice... hope the fortune will come to you soon... perhaps it has come in its own subtle little way... that bring us immeasurable happiness in our daily lives.
Love your dress, Lorenza... you never fail to impress me with the collection.

Oh that sky does look scary. I hope you got home before it rain.

Strange weather down there. Rain to the left, sun to the right. I like your little sheep. I think there is plenty of love and good will in your house already.

Hi Lorenza,
We have never heard about those 'lambs' before!
How very interesting. We think you do have an abundance in your house.
We think that every time we visit your blog and see how well loved you are by your mom and your Gran and your whole family!!!
We love you too!
Some people think about money as abundance but that tends to come and go!
Love and kisses
Martha & Bailey xxx
PS we don't know how we forgot - you are loved by the whole DWB community!!!
How much more of an abundance - those lambs sure work!
xxxx
Thanks fr sharing the tradition of the lambs. We are sure that your home is filled with the "riches" of love and kindness that are so much more important than money.
And yes, sweet Lorenza, if you come to play with us, we can play inside and maybe we could even get Twix and Tank to come too - They don't live too far from us.

Hi Lorenza
thank you for the story....it is always nice to learn new things.
Madi loves your dress with bubbles on it...well she calls them bubbles anyway. When she was a kitty we bought kitty bubbles at the pet store (supposedly they had the scent of cat nip in them). She would play until the bottle was empty.
Madi and Mom
Hi Lorenza, I loved the fortune lamb story. And... guess what... my mom sometimes goes by the name Lana. She didn't know it meant Wool.
That is one spectacular dress.
Thank you for sharing all this with us.
The story about the lambs is so cool! We have never heard that before.
We hope they bring you tons of good luck and prosperity!

I love the story of the lambs! And my mom says your mom is very wise. Abundance comes in many ways, not just in money. You can't buy happiness, right?!

Great to see your drawing as the header on your blog!! ANd we love the dress you are wearing today - great colors!!
Neat thing about the lambs! Mom has this idea that she must leave one christmas decoration our all year (I think she made this up) for good luck, so we have a snowman that stays out on the shelf even in the summer!!

It's so nice to learn about other people's traditions.
I am fan of Fengshui which says that you have to have a turtle in your house for abundance.
God help us in the next year.
Woof! WOW! learn something. Thanks for sharing ... Just want to wish you and your family Happy Holidays. I just posted my last post for the year. We are going on a long Holiday break. Lots of Golden Holiday Woofs, Sugar
Lorenza
