Why on earth have Chrismas in the middle of summer? Stupid I call it,never want to spend that time in Aussie land
Everyone knows Christmas is in winter with snow coming down- sitting beside a log fire eating roast chestnuts.
No one has bothered to tell the Australians
No they still have sun blessed beaches , cloudless skies, hot days, sun tans. Non of this snow and rain. you see pictures of them on the Beach , drink in hand , all smiles,I do feel sorry for them, they dont know what they are missing

And prawns... don't forget the prawns on the barbie at Christmas.
Last year one of my friends from Malaysia visited in September especially to see snow - something she had never seen before. As it happened that year the snow season lingered longer than usual so there was still a bit of snow in the Snowies.
We drove up to Perisher and she enjoyed herself walking about in the snow for a couple of hours. It also reminded me, who hadn't seen snow since 1974(ish) in London when it snowed at Easter, that I could die happy if I never saw snow again.
On the other hand my kids (born here) spend a fortune visiting the snowfields here, in New Zealand and Japan just to snowboard and ski. They used to invite me to join them but I always politely refuse.
Here she is doing her impression of a parcel. She (and I) wore every bit of warm clothing we could find including some of my kid's snow gear (she is used to 32°C all year round)
Personally I freeze when it gets below 10°C at night.
