Christmas Countdown
... I guess it pays to tell everybody that you want a Christmas Card from them! To everybody else, you still have time...
I was quite pleased with the box of Australian goodies which included: Vegemite (an Australian breakfast spread), The Advertiser newspaper (still rubbish), an umbrella hat (wouldn't be caught dead in it), an Adelaide calendar plus a variety of souvenirs including magnets, pins and stickers.

We had to leave a little early though because they cranky and it was past nap time. As soon as we got in the car, both of them passed out.
