Just Chatting: Christmas Jumpers

Now, alright, I know this is going to be appalling to some people. We may have to have a few friends leave because of it. OK, confession time. I have never owned a Christmas jumper.

I know, I know, I'm not in the spirit of Christmas and everything if I don't have a yearly Christmas jumper, but forgive me because I am Australian. Us Aussies have Christmas in summer, and typically we spend it around a barbecue, with kids jumping in and out of the pool. The dream is always for a great sunny day, with dad cooking sausages and steak on the barbie, beer in hand, while mum brings out the coleslaw while chatting with Aunty Dee. And the kids just make a nuisance of themselves while they try to not boil in the heat. That's the dream. I have never known  it to a reality for anyone. Families are families after all.

But secretly many of us here, down under, are dreaming of waking up to a snow laden street, with kids in beanies and wearing our hideous Christmas jumpers. Then sitting in front of a crackling fire and drinking eggnog. (I don't even know what eggnog is, but it sounds like something you drink when it's cold). But we know that this will never happen here. Sigh. Looks like I just have to move to Britain. Have to. It's going to be hard for me. (It's OK guys, I am definitely joking).

Anyway, although I know that the good ol' Aussie Christmas is incredibly under-represented, I would like to get into the spirit of a cold Christmas, hence the Christmas jumpers.

So since Christmas is only 15 days away (this is so exciting guys!) I thought that I would just take a moment for all of us that crave a Christmas we don't have. Maybe we want it hot, cold, just average, rainy, or maybe we just want to have a Christmas in general.

Also, can we mention Christmas socks?! Oh my god, they are amazing. Absolutely amazing.
