And each year that I see the green and red decorations at the front of shops in late October/early November I get a little bit Grinchy.
So here is my pre christmas gripe, in hope that by the time Christmas actaully comes around, I'll have given into the festivities and will be shouting Christmas praises to the sky.
Why Australia? Why.
Why are we still singing songs about 'Jingle bells' and 'Frosty the Snowman' when it is 40C (100F) outside?
'I'm dreaming of a white Christmas'?
For gods sake my beautiful, sweltering southern hemisphere country. Its summer here in Christmas time. Embrace it.
But while we're on the topic of the songs.
There needs to be some official rule about when it is okay to start singing and playing Christmas songs in shops. Yes. I understand. It was a very, silent, holy night on the night of the first christmas. A very, VERY silent, holy night. But please. Please. Only subject me to that song, at the very VERY earliest, two weeks before Christmas. Please. And whosoever dares even HUM a Christmas tune after boxing day in my presence will feel the full extent of my wrath.
Another thing which should never have been allowed to become a part of Christmas, is the motion detector santa
'HO! HO! HO! MEEEEEERY CHRISTMAS!!!! JINGLE BELLS, JINGLE BELLS....'
MRRRAAAAAUUUGHHHHH!!!!
Okay. But other than those things, Christmas is usually fine.
Except that I end up broke and fat by the end of it.
Again. Christmas in summer. Why Australia? Why?
siiiigh. Now... when I rule the world... hahaha.
