Christmas decorations.

Postby Shazzam » Thu Dec 22, 2005 9:52 pm

Last night I took my daughter for a drive to see all the Christmas decorations on peoples houses.

When I came home I realised that Australian's are decorating their lawns with plastic snowmen, snowflakes etc. :lol: :lol: I must admit I had a laugh the temperature here was 36 degrees yesterday. The forcecast for Christmas day is 38 degrees.

I would love to see a snowman in that sort of temperature.

I have to wonder why Australian's use the european 'white christmas theme?' I mean it is never going to happen.

We should have Koalas, kangaroos and bbq's dressed with lights and tinsel, it would be more appropriate. :lol: :lol:

:? Weren't Australians European immigrants back then? If yes, then it seems pretty reasonable to keep the traditions to me.

OMG Lenny 250 years ago. :lol: We are a mixing pot now. I think we need our own identity. The referendum for us to become a republic 7 years ago didn't get passed, but I reckon if they tried again now, we would get a much different result and Australia could finally break away from old english ways that are totally irrelevant to this country now.
