It’s been pretty crazy around the city the last couple of days with everybody finishing off their last minute christmas shopping. Jezza and I were walking down Bourke Street yesterday, and it was just a sea of people.

Christmas time at Bourke St, Melbourne

Things I like about Christmas:

• Presents! Everybody loves presents!
• Turkey for Christmas lunch. Then turkey sandwiches every day after that
• Time off work is always good
• Catching up with family

The things I hate about Christmas are:

• Lots of people and cars making it hard to get around – see picture
• People going crazy about shopping and presents
• Christmas CD’s. No doubt, my mother will want to listen to every lame christmas cd she has.

It’ll no doubt be a half day at work today, then I’m off work until the 3rd of Jan. I think that plenty of BBQ’s are in order over this time. On the topic of BBQ’s, we went to Shane and Kel’s place for one the other night, with Simmo and Nicole.

When Shane sends me the photo, it’s going here.

Beer, BBQ and some Cold Chisel in the background. It just doesn’t get any better than this.
