Geez, you sound like your climate is warmer than Florida. And to imagine Christmas at 100F, with no snow. I guess it's all on where you where raised. It makes me laugh wondering what your Christmas cards look like. Does Santa wear shorts and a Hawaiian shirt with palm trees in the background? haha

I have liked every Australian I have ever met. They just seem so nice and courteous, friendly and laid back. But what is funny to me, occasionally when I guess they have an English accent, they seem to get that, oh no, not another one thinking I'm from England look
