Goodness, how does that happen? Christmas just sneaks up and happens and then it's gone again. Here it is 28 December. Heck, Boxing Day is over already too! Anyway, our first Australian Christmas was memorable; if nothing else, then for the fact that we were in Australia! Of course, add to it that it's daylight savings time here now (Christmas lights are not visible until 8.30 or 9.00 pm), Christmas activities are done in shorts and tank tops, and it's warm and we are swimming in the ocean every day! Nonetheless, Australian's seem to enjoy their Christmastime just as much as the next continent.
Before Christmas we enjoyed going to a "Carols in the Park" event with some friends. It's an event that features singing Christmas carols, hearing a Christmas message (it's sponsored by a Christian church), and finishes off with fireworks after dark. It was just like a 4th of July celebration in the States, except with Christmas carols! There were booths there for food, people throwing footballs, frisbees, and anything else easy to launch, lots and lots of glow sticks, necklaces, headgear, etc. It was quite fun and certainly did a lot to get us pumped up with that elusive Christmas spirit. Pics and a video clip below!
