It was unlike any other Christmas that I’ve had, and I will always remember it. Not least, the one Australian Christmas card that has stuck in my mind: Santa and his sleigh on top of the roof of a house, about to load presents down the chimney. Except in place of Rudolph, there was a sprightly kangaroo, and rather than the house – complete with decorated tree in the window – sitting in a dusting of snow, this particular destination was surrounded by sand. It was good to experience something totally different, but also to realise that, even on the other side of the world – and with a few necessary adaptations – some things about Christmas will always be the same.
