On the Dance Floor

Feliz Navidad! Thats my Spanish Word of the day. It means Merry Christmas. Yes this is december , the cold, festive month. However the story is different here downunder. Here its summer, a dry time for Australia. But we are getting enough rains this year. All my garden crops are enlivened.

OK, Weather apart , December is the party month[-another reason for Aussies to celebrate] . Just be in the city and you will get inspired by the decorations and party invitations. Its amazing how people find time for themselves and enjoy , unlike in Kerala, where i lived for the past 25 years. Yeah, that seems like a long time. Here people live to celebrate. They don't believe in saving money for the next gen, or atleast for themselves for the coming months. They Earn, they spend, they party! I remember one of my little nephews in Sydney - shouting, while they were returning from church-- Mama, lets go party, mama lets go party! . The Young auzzi-ism is bubbling over already.

We also had a christmas party at our workplace. It was at 7:00 PM in the city and people were starting to leave by 2-2.30, to prepare for it . The party is from 7PM - 1 Am and unlimited drinks and dance! I told hubby abt this, and his question was , "you are not gonna drink,are you?". I couldn't help but say- "Of course I am!" just to see his response.

We reached there around 7,30 and the finger food was already served. After dinner all headed towards the dance floor, wearing a wristband, for unlimited drinks. I was astounded by confidence exhibied by some females on the dance floor. Really Amazing. They just dance, and dance.

Reached Home at 1 am, and little one got up. Another party time!

These events don't connect , do they ?
