In reply to jw. You'll have to stick around for that juicy story, which is the subject of an upcoming post. But yeah, it didn't exactly make for the best photos!

In reply to Edna. Interesting, I too would think Australia would be really into it! When it comes down to it though I don't think anyone else's Christmas traditions will ever be a proper substitute for our own. Tradition is just too important a part of the holidays.

In reply to John. Ha, I'm one of "those people" that LOVES Christmas music. I load up all the CDs in my car, make a playlist on my iPod and jam away starting the day after Thanksgiving :)

I’ve spent the last three Christmases abroad – China, Singapore, and most recently Australia – and every time I miss the holiday spirit more and more! I wouldn’t mind going back for one season of consumerism and holiday specials and decorations and Christmas songs. It especially surprised me that Australia wasn’t more into the spirit, but I’ll blame it on their lack of snow 🙂
