tis the season
Dec. 1st, 2012 08:10 pmToday is the first of December, the first day of summer, and, for the majority of Australians, Christmas Tree Day.
Today is the day we put up the Christmas trees.
For those northernly folk who may be thinking this is horribly early, you should be aware that our trees are not generally alive, and therefore will not be brown and dead by Christmas Day. As the proud owner of a fake tree, I put it up, in good Aussie form, on the first - and my house remains Christmassy for a full month.
We are now watching A Muppet Christmas Carol, and feeling very seasonal. Although I admit, I won't feel truly Christmassed until I've also watched Die Hard, While You Were Sleeping, and Gremlins.
