I have included a small compressed archive of 3 jpeg images. These should
answer your questions about Australian Christmas. (Sorry about the small
picture size but I didn't think it was worth increasing the file size).
Santa delivers his presents on a flying surfboard, and he actually wears
orange boardies (swimming togs), The baby jesus actually didn't have three
wise men visiting because he was in a manger being looked after by some
Australian wildlife at the time, and the third picture shows how much fun
we have decorating our gum trees in the festive season.
Actually Rolf Harris wrote a song (or sung one anyway) about how Santa had
a sleigh pulled by six white boomers (big male kangaroos) I don't know if
one had a red nose? And really on the subject of what the jolly man wears
- Santa probably has to wear what Mrs Saint Nick has washed at the time so
it may be a variable.
Regards,
Barry Meiklejohn.
