We will be celebrating - just not at home!! I will miss our Christmas Eve tradition though... DH and I got to the local icecream shop and get a waffle cone - then we walk up this famous street that is completely lit up at Christmas. Council pays the residents electricty for December and they all put lights and displays up. Every year the fire truck comes and sprays foam on the lawns so they are all white and there are people EVERYWHERE. It turns into a street party and there are kids playing everywhere. The excitment is contegious.

I will really miss that this year! Is there a street like that in Melbourne?
