When we went to Christmas markets in our younger days. The would be one or two police officers and there weren't any safety bollards to prevent cars. A certain people follow a certain religion.
I don't mind some Christmas markets but I wish they stopped with the man-made rubbish; you can tell if things are by machine in mass production. I just like walking round in the cold being nosey with mulled wine. |

I just wish they would ban pop music at Christmas it is bloody everywhere. My children's stereos and every sodding shop. How anyone can prefer this stuff to Handel's Messiah is a deep mystery to me...
Christmas for me these days means usually a heatwave and 1000s of drunken backpackeres on Bondi beach. I avoid it.
I spent 2 Christmas' in Connecticut in the snow with Americans who did the full bit and it was kind of glorious although at one when we all went for a walk in the snow in the afternoon and found a dead baby deer which was rather sad. I envy you Hedda. Only visited Australia once. Magnificent country. Despite the spiders. |

We would hate Handel's Messiah just as much if we had to listen to it while searching for cottage cheese. |
