For those shivering on a cold Christmas Day, I thought you may like to see a little of how we celebrate in Australia.
The video is Aussie Jingle Bells from Bucko and Champs. It’s a little closer to the truth as far as an Australian Christmas Day goes.
It might be Christmas Eve 2011 where you are but here in Perth it’s well and truly Christmas Day.
I want to take this opportunity to wish you and yours a very happy day as you celebrate Christmas wherever you are in the world. Many will be experiencing a white Christmas while here in Perth, Western Australia, we have a hot summer day forecast.
Remember to pace yourself throughout the day so that you don’t regret it all tomorrow and don’t forget to take time out to reflect on what Christmas is truly all about.
Glory to God in the highest, and on Earth peace, good will toward men. – Luke 2:14
We went to a Christmas Eve service at church last night and we’ll be catching up with both sides of our family throughout the day.
I’d really love to hear how you’ll be celebrating. Please leave a comment or two to let me know.
I was reading this morning that Australia Post is expected to deliver a million more parcels to homes this Christmas compared to last year and they’ll increase their workload 24%.
It’s all to do with online shopping. People are switching to the convenience of buying from the comfort of their own home or office.
It makes sense to avoid the queues, save money, and have goods delivered directly to your door. It’s no wonder that online shopping has taken off over the last couple of years.
Have you done your Christmas shopping online this year? Did you buy everything online or just a few bits and pieces? If you haven’t been buying online, what’s the main thing that is holding you back?
Mind you, for blokes like me there’s still a long way to go before we embrace online shopping for Christmas gifts. I really can’t see them finding a way to allow us to shop on Christmas Eve and have the gifts delivered before Christmas.
I really enjoyed watching That’s Christmas, a video from St Helen’s Church, Bishopgate. It’s well worth a look if you’re interested in the real story behind Christmas.
This is a great video of an African Bull Frog playing a computer game. Worth watching through to the end.
