Cheers

The picture of the old hut with the beautiful blue sky and bush setting, burnt down 3 days ago it was called Craigs Hut where the movie The Man from Snowy River was filmed , there are terrible bush fires raging up there destroying some great country , but at least no lives have been lost yet.

UPDATE Fires are still raging and now a life has been lost after some idiots deliberately lit fires down Gippsland way in Victoria.He wasn't actually killed by the fire, but run over by fire tanker as he was fighting the fire.

A loss of life is terrible. I don't know about Australian law but in the states who ever started the fire would face murder charges.
-
I really appreciated the Aussie card. It describes the type of weather we have here at Christmas too (in fact, all year round!)

California lost five fire fighters in an arson fire near Beaumont. It was a staggering loss. The fire just literally ran them over up the mountain.

Under our laws you would be looking at about 25 years in prison.

Bravo!! Awesome greeting card, Australia is gorgeous, the beach pic is gorgeous, the water is so clean and clear. Thank you for the Christmas Card Tamara... Merry Christmas to you and yours :)

I enjoyed the Aussie Christmas card! As an American who hasn't travelled much, I have trouble wrapping my brain around Christmas in summer. How do the Aussies here feel about all the songs, movies, etc., that refer to a winter Christmas? Can you relate, or does it seem a little weird to you?

You would be very surprised at Christmas in the British Caribbean. All our decorations, etc. are as if we know about snow. We have these huge displays with snowmen, and snow falling, etc. When I was a child, the christmas cards we sent had snow, sleighs etc. on them. Maybe it is a throwback from the planter class (who were originally from Britain) trying to preserve their memories, and we who had lost all our African culture just taking on their culture.
-
Yeah fun greeting and song. I'd love to be at the beach.... mmmm
and yes the bushfires here have been horrible.. even more so that some jerks set them! unthinkable.. specially after 10 years of drought. I don't know how some people sleep at night.
-
:bump; i know this is from last christmas but i love it and i thought our new members might enjoy it.
cheers :santahat;
-
Thanks Charee...as a new member, I probably never would have found that. It was great fun!!!
Merry Christmas to you! :christmastree;

:rudolph; My kids love that song! They sing it every year at the school carols. :ausflag;
Christmas here is definitely shorts and thongs ( NOT those kinds of Thongs Goofy :P ) :christmastree;

-
Wish I was there. today is Dec 1st and we are getting 5 inches of snow 30mph winds just another day in paradise...Boxman MERRY CHRISTMAS

Christmas is the most exciting time of the year. The school kids get six weeks off and all the shops close on Christmas day and Boxing Day. December is one of the hottest months of the year. Christmas in australia is amazing, there is nothing like it! :)
Compared to America our ways and traditions may be different but we all celebrate Christmas for the same cause and reason. :santahat;
-
Looked at the card for the first time last night. Awesome!!! Liked the song. Hubby wants to come to Australia for Christmas. he hates the snow. Amazing to look at the beautiful beaches when it is cold and snowy here. I could do with the warm temps too!!

I thought Boxing Day was your busiest shopping day of the year??
-
Where i live all the shops shut on Boxing Day , i think in the Big cities some open with there boxing day sales out in the bush where i live nothing opens, just the pub. ;D
-
I still am finding it hard to imagine it HOT on Christmas? I know it is in some parts of the world, just cant imagine it being hot in December :urcrazy;
-
Hot weather and only the pub open. I would be in heaven...Boxman

All the big Department stores and shopping centres are open for the start of the mad sales season. You have to go early to get the bargins!!
-
Boxing Day is definitely a no-shopping day in Barbados. I am not sure what they do here in the British Virgin Islands. While Christmas Day is traditionally a family day where you tend to stay at home (after the hour or two in Queens Park early in the morning to promenade), Boxing Day is the day for picnics, the beach, excursions, etc.
This time of the year is considered the coldest season in the Caribbean. But then you must understand that 23ºC (73.4ºF) is considered bitterly cold over here, and we hardly experience temps so low (but a girl can dream, can't she?)
-
Ah, well I read in the Black Friday thread that Boxing day was the busiest shopping day where it's celebrated... guess someone said it wrong, :lol;
