MLP Christmas Stocking Listed on Italian Amazon

Here's something interesting we found on the Italian Amazon. It looks like a christmas stocking featuring the Mane Six in their Rainbow Power forms. But you might wonder, why is their a witch on the packaging? (Oh and where's Applejack?)

Well apparently "La Befana" is a traditional Italian Holiday. On the night of 5 to 6 January a witch named La Befana visits the homes of the children. Those who are nice will get presents in their stockings, the ones who were naughty that year will receive some coal. The children will also leave a plate with a mandarin and orange and they also prepare a glass of wine for her. The next morning she will leave an hand print in ash on the plate. And most of the times she also leaves a small amount of coal and ashes because no one could be a 100% brave.

So there's the origin of La Befana. It's a lot similar to Christmas and Sinterklaas from the Netherlands. You can order it for 22 euros on the Italian Amazon here. I think it's also very nicely suited for a Christmas stocking!
