Aussie Christmas Poem



Tonight was a pleasant warm ( not hot ) night so we decided to go into the city to see the Christmas procession and the tree and light display in the city square.

So did everyone else who lives in Brisbane !

They all decided to have dinner in town too !

Then we waited about an hour for a City Cat ferry to go home.

Been there , done that !

Roll on Christmas

    Cool poem. I like it very much! My friend, a writer at essay-writer-club says that this poem is really good, and the one who has written it is highly talented.

      One at Hervey Bay with my parents and then another on the following Sunday in Brisbane with Tony's family Carol. Not bad for someone who doesn't really enjoy Christmas ( too hot for me to be bothered !!)How about you, seeing family or a quiet one for two ?

      Yes a quiet one for us .. It is just another day with the addition of some special foods to eat over the holiday period. Family is all down your way, so we are spared the expense and the fuss thank goodness.

    The crowds were awful Lee but I suppose it is nice to see everyone out enjoying our lovely town, ... er city !! Yes, it sort of creeps up on you in the end doesn't it?

    The poem refers to thongs instead of fur-lined boots. Any chance of a photo of you and Tony in your thongs? This will brighten up everybody's Christmas.
