merry christmas

In less than thirty minutes it will officially be christmas here on the west coast, finnally!  The tree here has looked so sad since grandma cleaned up the last of the paper from under it two days ago.  We had christmas last Sunday and it was great: lots of food, great presents, family all gathered.  Yep almost perfect, but where was the snow!  No white christmas this year on Huckleberry Lane and I'm feeling totally ripped off because Melbourne is being covered in white frozen water.  Okay, okay so it's hail but it's still a white christmas.  So while I sit down to my prime rib tomorrow, stomach still recovering from the 12 pound turkey last Sunday,I'm thinking of all you bastards down under and wondering just where a girl has to go for a white christmas.
