Do you know what the best time of the year is I do. It's easy. CHRISTMAS! I love it so much. And here's why. From fake snow in the heat of summer to cute kids busking carols, from late night drives to see the lights to dogs wearing reindeer antlers - an Australian Christmas is unique. In this book Christmas is for everyone. It's all about sharing experience with the people we love and missing some people too. A perfect gift from the team who bought us the much-loved Dirt by Sea, Why I Love Footy and Why I Love Summer.
