The Southern Hemisphere is summer now, but it is still cold sometimes. However, this is my first summer X'mas. Christmas is everywehere in Sydney, lots of events, concerts, and decoration. Now I can "feel" how important X'mas for western people. Because everyone is crazy for shopping.
I always like X'mas trees. There are some many beautiful X'mas trees inner city. Most buildings and places have its own Christmas tree.

Almost everyone hold a candle, it looked so beautiful.
Everyone sung X'mas song together, funny experience for me.

*Town Hall X'mas Theme Light Show.
There are 10 different Themes.
Each theme is projected by light on the surface of Town Hall building.

After X'mas and New Year, I will quit my job and travel to other places for one or two weeks. I hasn't decided where to go yet. Maybe Fraser island and White Sunnday or someplace else....

PS.I sent out many X'mas cards from Sydney this year. I hadn't written X'mas cards by hands for many years. If you are lucky, you will get an Australian style X'mas card.

  2. Do you need my home address for a Xmas Card? :-)

    I'm a little bit jealous. You can celebrate Xmas in Sydney and I sit here in NZ in a small town (population 25, including 7 Keas, 5 Seals and a dolphin) :)

    Everything looks really really nice in Sydney. The Town Hall Light show must be amazing...
