Christmas sure hits different when the sun sets at 9pm ☀️🎄 let’s talk about it!! ⬇️⬇️⬇️ Nat’s Notes: ✍🏼 no one does Christmas lights, no one ✍🏼 learned what a “Christmas Cracker” is!! (Poppers with surprise gift - slide 4) ✍🏼 they have BOX DAY after Christmas, which is like Black Friday but they also do Black Friday … ✍🏼 I made a gingerbread house with someone who never has done one because it’s a “very American tradition” ✍🏼 everyone says “Merry Christmas” there’s no “happy holidays” like we say more commonly in the States ✍🏼 next time I want to see a sleigh lead by giant spiders ❤️ very thankful and appreciative that I had 3 separate Aussie households offer me an invite to their Christmas/ good friends host me when I first arrived back. I had a rough first half in Aussie land, so to have strangers who have become caring friends to me in a short period of time, I’m so incredibly grateful this Holiday Szn #travel #lifeabroad #solotravel #holidays #americaninaustralia
