In a mere 2 days we're making a seasonal pilgrimage to the land of Oz, to celebrate Yuletide with beloved friends and family. It has been 3 years since our last Australian Christmas... and there is much I am looking forward to:
-Sun
-Beach
-prawns, moreton bay bugs, oysters, lobster & mud crab
-people who understand all the verses of six white boomers!
-watching rhino-beetles ricochet off ceiling fans
-cricket and the Sydney to Hobart yacht race
- the afore mentioned beloved friends & family
But it must be said, there is something, well, magical about Christmas in Deutschland. The candles, the elegance, the sparkling golden lights, the famed markets, the scents everywhere of cinnamon and clove and evergreen, Glühwein, and the promise of snow.
Not for the first time, I want to be in two places at once! I also want to know (as I select our suitcases) if Santa Clause et al, can be persuaded to employ a drop shipment policy.
