Hi Everyone!
The Christmas season is upon us once again. We have elected to stay in Australia to experience Christmas down under this year. We will be sorry to miss special celebrations with family and friends, but it is our one and only chance to feel what it is like to have a “green” Christmas! So far, the hustle and bustle of Christmas sales and shopping is the same as we have in Canada, but it is all done under sunny or rainy skies…whatever the weather chances to bring. It is indeed strange to see Christmas trees covered in tinsel and baubles standing outside under the bright summer’s sun! The Christmas carols out here are also very hilarious, written with an Australian twist, adapted with new words to old familiar tunes. Here's an example of the "Twelve Days of Christmas" for you to try to sing! We have been fortunate enough to see all these animals while here in Australia. Our amazing adventure now is winding to a close and we look forward to seeing you all soon in the New Year. We wish you all a wonderful holiday season. God bless!
Cheers, Karin & Rick
