I’m so ready for Christmas.
It all started when my favourite and most evocative christmas carol came through iTunes one day, ‘Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas’. Since then i’ve been dancing through the cold weather with empty dreams of hoards of perfectly-hollywood wrapped boxes with giant bows gently flickering under the watchful eye of a warming fire.
In fact, twice so far I have had the thought, “Why don’t I go to America? It’s their christmas over there now”. Could I be getting dumber?
I miss the childhood christmas days of early 1990′s sitcom christmas specials. I remember watching many a Full House christmas special before being tucked into bed. And that show with Erkle that was so annoying for so long. Don’t think about it for too long – it might become popular again.
It would be so nice if Christmas was like in a hollywood musical.
It’s easy to forget that Christams in AMerica is at the same time as here since we tend to get the US series Christmas shows in the middle of our winter (Days Of Our Lives has something like 5 Christmases a year I believe).
If you want a winter Christmas, hit Katoomba – they have Christmas in JUly just to confuse the tourists and the children.
Have you noticed that Christmas actually starts around October when the Westfields stick up the decorations and get the trees out of storage?
yes, it’s not quite christmas over here just yet – give it another few months. it is very hot though, and ive forgotten i was in the USA a few times, thinking its an aussie summer. it’s great here – you’d enjoy it. i’ll tell you how much fun i had at avenue q, too :)
BTW – the show with erkle was ‘family matters’; it’s shown quite frequently on ABC family on cable over here…plus they have reruns of full house :D i’m in growing-up heaven!
Family Matters indeed – thanks for that. I think I could survive without seeing either that or Full House again, but I am certainly looking for copies of Murder, She Wrote where ever I can get them.
