Yes Perth IS having Christmas.....!

Looking back over my last posts I realized that you could well be thinking that Perth was skipping Christmas this year because of the lack of any remotely 'Christmassy' content! Not true, if you watch this short video made by CityOfPerthWA showing the switching on of the Christmas lights party you'll see that it was a super fun affair and that Perth has Christmas all 'wrapped up'! You might also recognize some of the features in Forrest Place. I hope your weekend is going well, it's party time for me tonight..catch up tomorrow. People seem to go a little 'nuts' at this time of the year so take extra care and stay safe.....

    We went on a Christmas cruise to the Bahamas before my husbands accident and this reminded me how fun to stroll around in shorts and take pictures by the Christmas tree!

    Well, there wasn't much point in getting excited about christmas until after the 21st.

    I tend to go a bit overboard at Christmas on VDP... I am always amazed when I see people in shorts at Christmas! That's such a lovely tree and I want a bow like that one on my flat's roof!

    I had no doubt that Perth would get itself dressed up for Christmas. Nor did I have any doubt that you would party the season away.

    All you need now is half a meter of snow, I will try to fix that.

    I love that big bow on the covered walk. Have fun at your party. I'm off to one right now myself.

    It's hard for some of us up here to imagine Christmas in a warm climate. So much of the iconography is about cold. Not that we have snow on Christmas Day here very often.

    The difference is that you're in summer and I in winter! Happy Christmas, Arianna

    Kudos to Perth. It's nice to know that Santa visits folks in the southern hemisphere, too. :-)

    I learned long ago that Christmas can be just as much fun or even more so in the warmer climes where snow is but a faint memory and cold weather is just a passing Canadian front!

    It is very strange thinking of Christmas in a place where you can walk outside in shorts!
