Dreaming Of A Few White
Christmas Calendars?

Searching far and wide for Christmas calendars? Search no more!

As far as I can recall my Aussie Christmas experiences have all been rather warm weathered.

We still do the same things as I'm sure you do... exchange gifts and Christmas cards, decorate the home and hang out together during the Christmas period.

It's when you take a close look around some of the Australian suburban areas you notice a few homeowners go right off the deep end when it comes to displaying their own unique Christmas 'bent'.

Some of these 'enthusiasts' get heavily into decorating their homes.

Imagine if you will, hundreds of blinking fairy lights, strung up across every possible window, tree, porch, garden shed, you name it.

Australian Christmas Adventures

It's a sight to behold...

Christmas decorations light up an Aussie home

Think glowing christmas signs, and perhaps a rather intoxicated and overly friendly Father Christmas and a few reindeer (more likely kangaroos)...

And I'm sure you'll begin to get a taste of the Aussie way.

Now, I know I'm getting right off the subject of calendars but I thought you'd like to know the Australian Christmas experience.

I'm sure you could even spot these little decorative extremists elaborate home displays dancing in fiery patterns from a few hundred miles up in outer space.

In the Christmas calendars below you might spot a few too.

Christmas La La Land?

I'm sure it's not limited to just Australia either. In many countries Christmas brings out 'people's differences'.

Anyway, waiting for Father Christmas to rock up is always quite an enjoyable experience.

A mob of kangaroos hanging about in the snow

There's nothing quite like rushing out on Christmas morning to see those nice fat stockings bursting to the brim with Chrissy presents.

And just in case I didn't say it at the time...

Thanks so much Santa! (And, by the way, where's my mountain bike?)

I'd better stop now. Santa is nearly here and I must go and prepare his snack in case the guy gets the munchies in the quiet hours. It's hard work sliding down all those chimneys.
