I love the summer Christmas we have here in New Zealand. We get to be outside in the sun playing backyard cricket and heaving water balloons. There is however one thing I do envy about the American Christmas. The so called “tacky” holiday sweater. Oh, I love them. It’s the one time mainstream fashion goes a bit mad and it’s awesome to see. Having never experienced an American Christmas myself I’m not sure why this period has evolved to where your dad who wouldn’t be caught in anything other than his captain safety polo shirt with the drill pants suddenly feels the urge to pull on these fantastic creations. It’s all brilliant. The only problem is that they are impossible to get over here in summer Christmas NZ.  I guess my answer is right there, it’s not cold enough here to wear a woolen jersey this time a year. Never mind, I can get my fix from sites like this that have compiled some beauties! And this one where you can create you’re own work of art! I love this season. So American Christmas people, when you’re receiving yet another “horrid” creation with what appears to be penguin roadkill hanging off your chest, just remember there are people in the world missing out on that :(
