More Christmas displays and products were seen by us in one of the local $2/gold coin shops. The weird thing about these is that they are decorated with fake snow symbolizing how Christmas is the northern hemisphere but here in the southern hemisphere it's completely the opposite - it's summer for us meaning days at the beach, time spend outside in the garden, barbeques and hot sunny days.
Linking up with Through my lens, Ruby Tuesday, Tuesday Treasures, My corner of the world and Wordless Wednesday.

Even in Scotland we are lacking in the ice and snow department
No snow here but it is chilly. You need a Santa having a BBQ at the beach. :)
My inner shopping desire is coming out
Wow!
No snow or ice here yet, but I've started my annual months-long complaint of "I can't wait for spring!" It's COLD!

I have a niece who married and Australian and he talks how they celebrate Christmas with seafood and going to the beach. Sign me up for that.
Where I live in California it never snows, and I miss the snow. People in my neighborhood put lights in their palm trees, perhaps like where you live. I would love to visit your beautiful country.
How odd. I wonder if they manage to sell their snowy scenes?
I suppose a white Xmas has become a tradition. Our great grandparents brought their memories with them and it has lingered on. But NZ has such great Xmas customs of its own now. Santa in shorts, pohutakawa ,picnics. They should be updating their decor!
Agree with Linda - Christmas is shorts, BBQ, swimming, the beach, laying on the lawn, cold ham, new potatoes and lettuce salad - and fruit salad and ice cream. This snow business is just plain silly - we don't even get snow for christmas in most places in most years in England (just dull grey monotony).
That must be weird.
...Christmas in summer seems so strange to me.
These are beautiful. Even here in Singapore, it is hot and we don't have a winter season. But, I always see Christmas decor comes with snowflakes.
There's just something about Christmas decorations that photographers can't ignore. Thanks for posting.
