Starting to notice some shop windows are putting in Christmas Windows and I at all times start to feel excited. We typically have fun Christmas Day by having fun with a Christmas lunch or dinner with our closest household and associates.

Growing up in our house I can all the time remember the searing heat outside and scent of a roast wafting via the house by mid morning.

As far as Christmas traditions go, a lot of traditions are just about the same in the Northern Hemisphere, besides they have snow!

Homes put up pretty lights and wreaths on the entrance door and beautify the tree and watch carols by candlelight on Christmas Eve.

Christmas is Coming like to hear “All I want for Christmas is you” from Love Actually and a newcomer as an Aussie playlist must have is “How to Make Gravy” by Paul Kelly.

This yr has been tinged with sadness around the globe by occasions which are out of our control however impression many families both here and abroad. On the flipside we now have had some uplifting moments like the women’s soccer world cup that actually stopped our nation and made family names of our Matildas.

On behalf of all of the staff of the Dural Chamber and the Dooral Roundup, I would like to want you all a Merry Christmas and protected and peaceful New Year. Thank you for studying my tales each month!
