Christmas Decorations. AUSTRALIAN style...


So, any guessing where I am again?!  
Yes, back again in Melbourne with dear Mr NT and my daughter is here too.  Perfect. So it's a warm Christmas for us this year. Today the mercury hit 39.2 degrees C.  Phew. A little too warm for my liking but I believe it will be down again to the 20's for 'the' actual day.  I know I have said it before, but Christmas here is a much more relaxed and colourful affair. Well, I guess it does fall right in the middle of the Australian Summer and everyone is in party mode. Or so it seems....
Take a look at these lovely Christmas decorations I have snapped over the last few days... 



Bright twinkly silver wreath
Colourful table decorations at a special Christmas breakfast I attended last week at the Head office at work


Christmas tree in a local homewares shop

Rather like this table... all colours and lots of baubles


Again, that lovely 'tablescape'


What do you go for on the decoration front?  All white or a riot of colour, a la Aussie style?
Both are good.. 
Like Christmas in each country; both have their unique style and I love being in either UK or in Australia - so long as you are with loved ones it doesn't matter where you are really.

Wishing you all a fabulous and happy Christmas.

    1. Oooh I have heard it is wonderful pizza there. Glad you enjoyed it. Yes, it was boiling wasn't it? I was working too for part of the day but at least it was air conditioned. Happiest of Christmas to you. x

  3. Happy Holidays Sarah!
    Love that wreath, we have one on our front door and I do mostly natural decorations.
    We'll be huddled by the fire while you are more likely to be near an air conditioner!

  4. Merry Christmas, Sarah! I've never yet had a warm festive season, and the thought of it expands my horizons delightfully. I wish you many bubbles in your chilled champagne.
