(seasonally adjusted)
Car horns honk, asphalt's melting/Seat belts burn
Kids are shouting no parking space/Red in the face
Sweating in a summer wonderland
In the park we can have a picnic
Paper plates and flies all buzzing round
Poor old Santa looks a little sick Nick
As the fire truck drives him round the footy ground
Later on, we perspire/smell of smoke, there's a fire
The truck leaves flat chat/ Santa holding his hat
Sweating in a summer wonderland
It's pretty true here in this place down under. I must say Christmas day on the beach sound a bit to weird for my taste. I never thought I would see an advertisement saying summer Christmas specials. We are all upside down over here. I don't mind the heat so much during the day, but it is the nights that really kill me. Especially with now air conditioner. Well, I hope everyone in America has a wonderful WHITE Christmas. Make a snowman in honor of me. For all you Aussies have a very hot Christmas. That is so weird.

that is great! I love it.
Almost as much as a love an air-con-less house in 40 degree heat!!! :-P
merry Christmas. (even if it doesn't feel like it...)
Seeing as Christmas was started as a mid-winter fest, it really is illogical to have it in the middle of summer but you can't really change the date of Christmas.
I hate hot Christmases and thankfully, most of them aren't hot here. It's kinda werid - most years, it's cold and wet like this year.
The silly thing is that even though I grew up here - I still think Christmas without snow just isn't Christmas. And, I'm yet to experience one... hmm.
There was snow on the top of Mt Buller (bull - er) today.
I guess the only up-side is that we get a really good excse for Christmas in July - but there's still no snow.... say how do people in California celebrate?
Hope you all had a great day. Our guests finally left at 8.00pm - I'm rather tired! *giggle*
Love ya, xxx
hey maria!!!!!!!!
love,
liz
