One of my favourite times of the year is Christmas. I love everything about Christmas, the Christmas music, the Christmas decorations, the Christmas tree, the feeling of Christmas time, all of it; it’s just a magical time of the year.

During the week, I had a friend currently living in the US ask me if there were any Christmas movies made in Australia depicting what our Christmases are like and if it was weird living in Australia where it’s Summer at Christmas time and watching all the Christmas movies with snow in them.

I replied to my friend, no it wasn’t weird as snow is associated with Christmas as that is how most of the world celebrates Christmas; it’s winter and there’s snow around. Watching Christmas movies with snow is just normal for us.

Celebrating Christmas here in Australia where it’s summer has its advantages though. We can have a meal outdoors if it’s not too hot. We can go to the beach, splash in a pool, go to a playground, walk around the neighbourhood wishing people we come across a Merry Christmas, have a bbq, eat seafood, do things that people in a colder climate don’t do at Christmas time.

The one thing I don’t enjoy about Christmas and summer is when it’s too hot to do anything outside.

Regardless of where you are in the world this Christmas, whether it’s in the winter with the snow or summer with the heat, I wish you all a Merry Christmas!

Until next time
