"Today is the first day of Summer"
A quote I heard from a co-worker on the phone today - the 1st December; the first time I have ever heard those words spoken on the 1st December! Normally a day I always associated (at least as a kid) with the first day I got a chocolate before breakfast...So as Sydney gears itself up for the festive season; I find myself really not feeling it. I've already worked out that I'm going to have to discover Christmas all over again whilst I'm here - as everything that is Christmas back home, is pretty much non-existant here. For instance I probably won't get to watch Home Alone or National Lampoons Christmas Vacation once, let alone 4-5 times!
But things are starting to come together, the works Christmas do is coming up, a couple of other Christmas engagements are planned. Though despite listening to Wham's "Last Christmas" on my iPod the other day, I'm still not really 'there' yet.

Well... you had a bit of practice at Christmas in the sun/on the beach last year... so I reckon you'll not find it too hard to adjust!! and trust me.. the other 2 thirds of 'ALF' wishes we were there with you (although at least there's no danger of you breaking my presents this year!!) ;)
Enjoy it you.... miss ya lots xxx
