ADVENT CALENDAR 24th

Linking up with Hawthorn and Julie for the Advent Calendar.

 DAY 24
A familiar sign here in Oz.  Outside a MacDonalds.
Finishing up for the Advent Calendar this year and what better way for an Aussie girl (well old lady) to wish everyone Merry Christmas, than with some very down under greetings.  I have sourced these from the internet, as I definitely can't draw, but I don't think I'm doing anything illegal.


Two more bits, that I think are a typical way we celebrate here in Oz.
What a typical backyard would have looked like as I was growing up.  The rotary clothes hoist, cockatoos screeching, the cricket all set up, the good old  paling fence and a very blue sky.

                                                          AN AUSSIE CHRISTMAS.

                  BEER FOR SANTA OR MILK & MINCE TART, CARROTS for REINDEER,
                                                               FLIES, FLIES,
,       ,                            SUN, SURF &  SAND,    BACKYARD CRICKET,
                       CROISSANTS FOR BREAKY,     DESSERTS OF CHEESECAKE or PAVLOVA,
                 HAM & SALAD,   FLIES, SCORCHING SUMMER'S DAY,   PRAWNS ON THE BARBIE,
                            SINGLET, SHORTS & THONGS,   ESKIES FULL,   FLIES,
                             CYCLONE WARNINGS,   CAROLS BY CANDLELIGHT,  
  BOXING DAY CRICKET TEST MATCH, SYDNEY TO HOBART YACHT RACE, BUSHFIRE WARNINGS

 OK, enough of me being silly and I'll be having a short break and be back with you for New Year.
Hope you've enjoyed the Numbers and my wafflings, old & new, little snippets of craft and just being me.

 Have a wonderful Christmas, take care and sending lots of huggles your way.
Susan.

    Not silly at all, interesting and fun because it made me think what 'Christmas' might be like on the other side of our small lump of rock.

    Take care, hope you enjoy the day at DD. J, xx

      Thank you. Had a lovely day and got home very late, as we watched a Xmas movie (Lampoon's Xmas), which the grandkids had never seen (too young before now) & they thought it hilarious, so that made us all laugh a lot too. Hope you had a good one & kept warm. Take care.

      Merry Xmas to you, although you are just finishing up for the day. Sounds funny, but we were hunkered down inside too, with the cooler on at DD's. It was again stinking hot withe temperature in the very high 30's. As above, it was a lovely day, where I played some board games with kids, cuddled kittens, did a bit in the kitchen and helped 9 year old Missy Moo set up her new sewing machine (a real one), which her parents gave her. Wish I lived closer to sew with her, but I did teach DD to sew, so Mum can help anyway. Take care & hope the day was a good one.
