In Oz Christmas involves heat waves, bushfires & (often) traditional English dinners cooked in heatwave condition. Weird. But we put santa-snow on windows, decorate with icicles & such, and send cards with robins & winter scenes. Weird. Tho we can also get Australian cards showing Santa on the beach, and buy Oz animals in Christmas guise.

I was in my favourite craft shop today looking at the goodies, fair enough, crafty stuff takes a while to make, but did they need to be playing CHRISTMAS CAROLS!! I didn't buy any makings (yet), but I did get 3 tiny christmas decorations as my tree is only 6' tall & I collect minis whenever I see them.
