Ho Ho Ho! (Belated)


Ho Ho Ho!, originally uploaded by metajeff.

The Aussies really know how to get into the Christmas spirit. Here I am in downtown Brisbane (with bicycle) in front of a large festive Christmas tree. Note the distinct lack of snow. They do the whole Christmas-accessorizing thing here too (blinking 'icicle' lights on the evestroughs, illuminated Canadian-Tire type reindeer on the front lawn, etc.), but it looks pretty silly with palm trees in the background. I even saw folks walking along the promenade at Caloundra beach wearing red Santa hats...and swimwear.
