All of a sudden the air has a different feel to it. It has become slightly humid of late, and even if it is cloudy it is very warm.
When the sun is out it is now burning hot, and the burn time is now 5 - 8 minutes. That means that if you are out in the sun you should only be out for 5 - 8 minutes without protection.
With the shift in the weather my thoughts always turn to Christmas, and by the end of this week it is only four weeks away. My Christmas shopping has started, and at the beginning of December we will put the lights up around the house and put up the Christmas Tree.
This year our Christmas is going to be very different. We will celebrate with our family on the day after Boxing Day, the 27th December. We have Evette and our grandchildren arriving on Boxing Day and my mother and aunty arrive from Sydney Australia so we will be having a large family gathering full of laughter, fun and lots of noise not on Christmas Day but two days later.
How are your Christmas plans going? Will you fall into the "Christmas Abyss" and leave everything to the last minute, or are you one of those truly organised people who has everything planned well in advance?
Here is a video clip of how most of us celebrate Christmas here "Downunder".
