Oh! that is something I am looking forward to seeing before I die - a white Christmas. Australia is always hot, well for the majority of Australians it is. Have a great day tomorrow (Christmas day). Love Chris

Thanks Linda. What a great game of cricket over in Perth! We loved the Adelaide test and am looking forward to Boxing Day when it starts all over again. Plus the Sydney to Hobart yacht race - sport reigns supreme in our household over the Christmas break. Love Chris

Merry Chrismas, Chris, with all your loved ones.
It's still the 23rd here ( for another 45 min). After much delay due to cancelled ferries, bad weather and high waves my daughter, granddaughter and SiL arrived at a friends' and we'll see them on Boxing Day. I am so looking forward to it.

Thanks so much, I hope tomorrow is just as cool as today. I notice on our weather forecasts it is expected to rain, but we don't mind that as it makes the kitchen less hot! Have a great time tomorrow (for us anyway it will be Christmas Day). Love Chri

Merry Christmas to you also Chris. It is windy and cold down here in Tassie this morning. Have a fire going. Unreal for this time of the year. Many thanks for what you have done here on cute. What with your 2 new Grands, looking after your mother and that wonderful quilt you put together for Heather. Thanks for sharing your wonderful photos as well. May you and yours have a lovely Christmas. Love Shirley

Maybe you will have a White Christmas.

It's been a weird summer here on the mainland. A fire, wow - and we've been sweltering in nearly 38C and unbearable H U M I D I T Y which is draining. Have a great time with your family Shirley and you're welcome. Love Chris

No sign of a white christmas here this morning. Sun is shinning. My niece had a white Christmas in Emmaville NSW last week though, due to a heavy hail storm which caused damage to her house and others as well. Shirley

This is the Christmas in Australia song - sung to tune of Jingle bells.

"Dashing through the bush
In a rusty Holden Ute
Kicking up the dust
Esky in the boot
Kelpie by my side
Singing Christmas songs
It’s summer time and I am in
My singlet, shorts & thongs

OH, JINGLE BELLS, JINGLE BELLS
JINGLE ALL THE WAY
CHRISTMAS IN AUSTRALIA
ON A SCORCHING SUMMER’S DAY
JINGLE BELLS, JINGLE BELLS
CHRISTMAS TIME IS BEAUT
OH WHAT FUN IT IS TO RIDE
IN A RUSTY HOLDEN UTE

Engine’s getting hot
Dodge the kangaroos
Swaggy climbs aboard
He is welcome too
All the family is there
Sitting by the pool
Christmas day, the Aussie way
By the barbecue!

OH, JINGLE BELLS, JINGLE BELLS
JINGLE ALL THE WAY
CHRISTMAS IN AUSTRALIA
ON A SCORCHING SUMMER’S DAY
JINGLE BELLS, JINGLE BELLS
CHRISTMAS TIME IS BEAUT
OH WHAT FUN IT IS TO RIDE
IN A RUSTY HOLDEN UTE

Come the afternoon
Grandpa has a doze
The kids and uncle Bruce
Are swimming in their clothes
The time comes round to go
We take a family snap
Then pack the car and all shoot through
Before the washing up

OH, JINGLE BELLS, JINGLE BELLS
JINGLE ALL THE WAY
CHRISTMAS IN AUSTRALIA
ON A SCORCHING SUMMER’S DAY
JINGLE BELLS, JINGLE BELLS
CHRISTMAS TIME IS BEAUT
OH WHAT FUN IT IS TO RIDE
IN A RUSTY HOLDEN UTE

(Song written by Greg Champion)

Hi Carolyn, it's nearly 8.30pm Christmas Eve here and we are sitting in the lounge with a fan going to keep the room cool! And there you are with a Fire on! I hope you are resting your arm and that tomorrow (Christmas Day when it is there for you) will be a wonderful day for you. Love Chris

Thanks Jerrilyn, it's 8.20am Christmas Day here - been up since 6.00 gone for our morning walk. I've crisped the proscuitto for a beautiful salad and grilled the peach slices. Just about to pull the rind back from the Ham to organise a glaze. Yum, the kitchen smells good. Love to you and yours. Love Chris

Oh, Chris, say it isn't so. We haven't resorted to nudity and vulgarity here on our prim site!? The icons are falling - Rudolph, Santa, the other reindeer....

It was an Aussie cartoon of Santa having a skinny dip in the ocean. Australia is stinking hot on Christmas Day in most places - I have removed it. Sorry it offended you. Love Chris
