Santas in Sydney


 

 

Living in Sydney a couple of years ago meant experiencing our first holiday in the summer season. We found this scene one morning – the massive “Clause for a Cause” run along the harbor. An amazing gathering of Santas. 

 Aussies sure know how to have fun.

“It came without ribbons! It came without tags! It came without packages, boxes or bags!… Then the Grinch thought of something he hadn’t before! “Maybe Christmas,” he thought, “doesn’t come from a store. Maybe Christmas… perhaps… means a little bit more!”

  3. Santa’s and yet no snow, so strange to see but then again i’m from Canada so a Christmas with no snow is odd. Although this year it has been unseasonably warm. Happy Holidays Jane!

  10. Great! Especially as a kid we adopted every ritual of the Northern Hemisphere Christmas without snow! Hot English roast when it was 30 celsius, not Fahrenheit, outside. Have a great Christmas and New Year!

  11. Traditional Santa garb sounds a bit too much for a Sydney summer, but shorts are a great adaptation to the costume!

  12. Considering its summer in Oz when it’s Christmas this must have been really special to gather so many at one time. Great event and great photo to capture its energy.

  21. Hahaha how funny this… photo’s for a big smile!! And how strange not being in summer at that time of the year… isn’t it? I was once in New-Zealand for four months, also in the Holliday season. But I did not see as many Santa’s…
