Re: Is it too soon for a Christmas thread?
Christmas here is pish - end of :thumbdown: It's too hot and as a result the aussies can't be arsed celebrating the thing - either that or they're as tight as rat arses. :blink::eek:
There's no Christmas buzz at all, i was so disappointed last year. :blink: |

Re: Is it too soon for a Christmas thread?
I'm really looking forward to our first Aussie xmas, we too will probably do the cliche thing of beach, barbie and pool but our son will be 18 months old at christmas and probably very hyper opening presents which will be fantastic and we will have a 4 week old baby girl to share the day with as well and that's what xmas is about isn't it, the kiddies! :)

I will be watching my dvd copy of The Snowman - much to OH's chagrin - and mentally transporting myself to a British christmas that didn't even exist back home :rofl:

Seriously though, I do much prefer Christmas here. Gimme a barbie and a pav instead of Christmas dinner any day. |
Re: Is it too soon for a Christmas thread?
One thing I thought was kind of cool here during my first xmas last year...the malls and supermarkets play a lot of proper old fashioned christmas carols in the lead up to the big day. So you don't have to listen to 'i wish it could be christmas every day' 436 times inside the space of a month. Mind you I do actually love all the pop xmas tunes too!

Santa is even stripping down to shorts and singlet in someplaces. It has really become to commercialised since I was a kid. Just now feels like a couple of days off work. |

I love Christmas, I just hate the OTT behaviour in the UK. Aus is getting nearly as bad (with the stuff in the shops months too early) but the fact I can get a park and then shop easily in Woolies/fruit barn/butcher etc on Christmas Eve to do my shopping is fantastic. :D

On a positive note, at least over here we don't have to sit through 9 hours of 'Jesus of Nazerus'. My moneys on Forrest Gump for the afternoon film (just for a change, I don't think it's been shown before :rofl:)
