Can someone please explain to me...

WHY THERE IS A KOALA UP A CANDY CANE OUTSIDE THE HOUSE WITH ALL THE LIGHTS AT THE TOP OF MY STREET.

It is there every year, and it makes NO SENSE.

I mean we all know there is an emu up a gum tree sent by your true love on the first day of Christmas and a bunch of lobsters at the birth of Jesus.

BUT THERE IS NO KOALA UP A CANDY CANE.

LOL!! I like the lobsters *g*

[madwin]

Which is your favorite, the first or second lobster?

[fourwaytriangle]

That depends. Which one do I get to eat?

[madwin]

Probably the second one because the first one has a line and is therefore a person not a lobster so you can't eat it because that would be canibalism.

This is going to turn into a student teacher discussion, I can tell, hehe.

lol! i think its cute that people are into the "aussie" christmas :P

[madwin]

I remember some years when we were kids they wouldn't put the really big Christmas tree up at the Mall and instead put up this bush Christmas thing, which was kinda cool, but call me unAustralian, call me traditional BUT I LIKE THE TREE DAMN IT!

Hehe, I mean it's not like we all go out and buy our giant candy cane and stuffed koala to put our presents under!

Ok I'm really tired and silly!

[fourwaytriangle]

LOL!! Sorry, but the idea of having a giant candy cane and stuffed koala standing in the corner of a living room with presents underneath just seems so silly!! Ahhahahaha funny image in my head makes me laff! *g*

See that is why I do not understand why that house has a giant candy cane complete with koala out the front of it.

They like to stand out. They always have the most decorations of like EVERYBODY, and they prob just wanna be noticed and unique... It's kinda hard not to see them anymore... we drove past the other day and i pointed it out to Daz and said they always had the most decorations. Course its nothing compared to the ones i saw in Newcastle...

And besides there are heaps of weird and odd "non-christmasish" things around these days... we all know its become a very commercialised holiday, and you see all sorts of weird things around... i guess in the same way we now have our Easter Bilby (when it has nothing to do with the actual tradition) - but i prefer the bilBY AND IT RAISES GOOD MONIES!
ooops, sily caps lock. i can't be bothered changin it :P

but well, maybe the koala wanted to be up the candycane. I think its really just an attempt to "Aussify" Xmas by combining the traditional with the Aussie... it is a bit strange though. Though hey, what the heck, weirdness is sometimes good

[fourwaytriangle]

If they wanna Aussify christmas then they should damn well HOLD THE DAMN THING IN WINTER!! Change the DATE, not the WEATHER!! Ugh. :P

[thalia_themuse]

*blinks* sit down Felicity....

...and I'm pretty sure they wuldn't be ALLOWED to put Christmas in Winter, cos in the end, it is still based around a religious celebration.

Besides, some ppl do the whole "Christmas in July" thingo.

[fourwaytriangle]

Allowed? Allowed aschmowed!! Next year I'm claiming public holiday pay if I have to work on Ramadan or Hannukah or, or, or Anna Pastrami Day or the Feast of the Raccoon God or whatever!! Religious celebration my ass!

The problem with the whole "christmas in july" thingo is that even if you do it, you still can't avoid christmas in december.

And housewives everywhere still insist on a HOT (turkey-with-all-the-trimmings) LUNCH on christmas day!! FUCKING STUPID!!

(PS This is me in a good mood, I just wanna stress that ;-))
