Happy Christmas Eve

Merry Christmas everyone. I hope you have a wonderful Christmas Eve and a very Merry Christmas.

Christmas in Brisbane

Last night I went in to Brisbane to see all the Christmas decorations and shows. After the disappointment of the Christmas markets I was hoping for a much better display and I wasn't disappointed. If you live in Brisbane try to get in to King George Square to see the light show on the town hall. It was spectacular! My grandchildren were amazed!
These are just a few photos of the show.

This is the solar Christmas tree in the square.

One of the many large Christmas decorations throughout Queen St Mall.

The countdown is on.......

Six more sleeps.......

One week until Christmas Eve.

Its getting close, folks.

Last wreath

Well, this is my last wreath for this year. I have loved making everyone for family and friends. I am thinking next year I may try and sell them....hmm, maybe.

Disappointed

Well, today, I was hoping to be able to write a blog on how wonderful the new Christmas markets at Southbank were, but I'm sorry to say that is not going to happen. I was very disappointed. I went along with great expectations after hearing and reading all the information. It was advertised as being just like the European Christmas markets. I am afraid it was not.... Yes, they had decorated the stalls beautifully, yes, there were Christmas lights and yes, there were real Christmas trees, but that was as far as it went. All the stalls, bar a few, were the exact same stalls that are there week in week out. Where were all the stalls with the Christmas decorations? Where was all the Christmas food? Really, it was just the usual weekend market, decorated. Big let down Southbank!

A bit of fun.

I have found a website that is a bit of fun to use and children love the result. It is called PNP portable North Pole. You can go and make free videos of Santa, to have emailed to family or friends. My grandsons think it is amazing. Santa talking to them.
If you have some spare time, have a go and watch the children smile when they receive their email.
