Cricket on the television and in every neighbourhood park... Santa's helpers grateful for the coldest of air conditioning, that helps them face the long queues of bright eyed children... it's Christmas in Australia...and we'd have it no other way.Crissoulihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10148084999701286044noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6875529476113835592.post-21398130607084356172012-12-17T08:22:35.612+10:002012-12-17T08:22:35.612+10:00Once again capturing an Aussie Christmas in lieu o...Once again capturing an Aussie Christmas in lieu of the snow and mistletoe.

We have the grandchildren here, so hopefully, gingerbread men will be made tomorrow as is our tradition.<br /><br />May all the Blessings of Christmas be yours as well as being shared with your extended family.
