The morning was very typical. Wake early, take photos as the kids see what Santa has left, Tricia cooks too much food (NOT COMPLAINING), open presents.
It's the differences that made this day uncommon.
Santa left some Aussie gear! The kids all got body boards and goggles. Will got a cricket ball. Tricia and I got beach chairs and an umbrella.
And our food was different. We were able to find chips and make guacamole. We even had little sausages in barbecue sauce, as well as fruit soup. Instead of pumpkin pie, however, we had fruit mince pies and tim tam balls. Instead of breakfast casserole we had sausage rolls. And Tricia made a traditional pavlova. Perfect!

And, of course, later in the day we had to try out our new beach gear.
So, off to the beach we went.

| Merry Christmas! |
We pulled bon bons, and the winner got the prize inside. A party hat, joke, and toy. What fun!
All in all, a Merry Christmas!

I had to google Pavlova but it sounds delish!
