Re: christmas in uk
Shoot me down if you must but can't help but ask, why did you all move to oz in the first place??? Did you not do your research first??? Like, yes it is summer at xmas here so obviously going to be warm. I am really suprised by the things you "miss" from home. Did you not realise and take this into account when applying to live here??
Haven't you found the Barbie yet?

Of course everyone did their homework and knew that xmas in Oz would be in the summer!! But does that then stop people listing that as something which they miss and which they will now look forward to?
I for one can't wait for a UK xmas again and everything that goes with it, which people have already mentioned and mainly being with family.
We also knew about leaving family as well but thats not to say it doesn't affect you when you're in Oz.
What a stupid comment to make, if you can't understand that some people want to be back home and miss certain aspects of life in the UK then you need to start looking at things from a different perspective.

Re: christmas in uk
This forum is for people who are seeking advice/help/support about (possibly) returning home. Most people posting here are in a difficult place - physically and/or emotionally. Telling them in effect that they were dumb to have moved abroad in the first place because they didn't do their homework (etc. etc) is *not* helpful.

Dont be so ridiculous, its statements like that from you which just show how narrow minded some people really are!

No I live here now! (Not that I need respond to your peevish comments, but you seem awfully interested in something which doesn't concern you). Sorry Australia is not the paradise you think it is. Fortunately the world is full of different people who all appreciate different things..apart from the basics of course!
