Dominick the Donkey - A Family Favourite


One cannot help but be uplifted by this very cute song.  It just seems to get us all laughing and sometimes even dancing around Christmas.

I can't help but remember visiting my grandfather in Italy.  He had a much treasured little Sicilian donkey he named Cecilia.  For years, he and Cecilia headed out to his vineyards to tend the vines.  The two were always seen together.  Cecilia served him faithfully for many years and I recall how my grandfather suffered when she died.

Needless to say, this song brings back strong memories and strikes very close to home.

May you enjoy it in your home as much as we do in ours.
