Fellowship (Page 10)

Growing up in Australia, Christmas was very different to what I experience now. For one thing it was always very hot, because December 25th in the Southern Hemisphere is in the middle of summer.  Also, because of the summer sunlight hours few people would bother with Christmas lights.
