Aussies DO IT differently

The celebrations of Christmas are just that little bit different in the Southern Hemisphere. The heat comes from the sun, not the fireside, the lights come from the blaring sun, not the xmas lights, though god knows there are enough of those in the neighbourhood, and the oven mainly gives way to the BBQ on Xmas Day.
So to put you into the picture and perhaps into the mood here are some of the moments I have captured which make Aussie Xmases the funnest EVA.

The Sydney Morning Herald Newspaper announcing the weather for Xmas day!

The Red Hat Society ladies at the bus stop off to their festivities - Women of all ages who wear read and purple usually, but this time just red for Xmas.

My Bus today complete with Charlie the cuddly bear, sitting in the window with his name badge and his sunnies. 

My thong Tree without which you could not have an Aussie Xmas.

And the Xmas shirts complete with surfing Santas and dancing Kangas. 

So a very Merry Xmas to one and all - North or South it is part of this lovely planet which we all share, so lets look after it in 2019 and forever more.
