Hm, that's what I'm calling stereotypes of Christmas. Shopping madness, Christmas trees, trumpery decorations in city streets, turkeys slaughtered in USA, some strange guy with red jacket comming from north with caribou as prime mover, Coca-Cola commercials, postcards from companies I've never heard of and wildfire in Australia.
Each year the same picture in news - wood, fire, wood, fire, wood, George Bush with first turkey, fire, house, fire, sad Aussie, fire, exhausted firefighter, fire, Canberra, cloud of smoke, concerned mayor.
I've always wanted to know where Aussies get each year after fires new trees to light up next year. :-)
