Getting our heads around Christmas in the sun has been no easy task and I can't quite understand why Aussie TV promotes a wintery Christmas as being 'proper'. Surely they're just setting themselves up to be disappointed! I was always brought up to believe that sunshine was a pretty good thing - couple this with a shedload of pressies and far too much chocolate and I reckon you're onto a winner that should be exploited to the full as a unique Aussie experience. In a small attempt to promote this philosophy, we have purchased body boards with some Christmas money (thanks, Mum & Stuart) to fly the flag for a sunny festive season.
As I dismount from my high horse, I would like to point out the cutest Christmas Stockings in the southern hemisphere alongside an enormous pile of Christmas goodies that arrived in various shipments from Sue and Terry (thanks, guys). This has become our Christmas Tree of sorts as the traditional spruce just doesn't fit in with the fruit bats and cockatoos.
Anyhow, with only one present left to buy and a mammoth gingerbread fiasco to reproduce, we're almost there and it won't be long before we wake up and smell the Turducken.
