Christmas lights have no been strung around the outside of my house and I ask myself why? Living in the southern hemisphere (NZ) it gets dark between 9 and 10.
The lights get switched just to be turned off half and hour later to go to bed. Another oddity about Christmas here is how Starbucks have lovely sticky snowflakes stuck to their windows. It just smacks of craziness.
But the oddest thing of all is that the locals don’t seem to mind or find it particularly strange. Its not a talking point as such, I think there has been enough Christmases go by for it to get old. My Uncle also informs me that the whole Barbecue thing only started becoming popular recently. Throughout the 20th century they suffered through a big roast dinner in the stuffy heat of summer.
