Cold Christmas in Melbourne

It's really unusual for the country to experience snow on this time of the year. Snow will fall in some parts of Australia including Victoria. But don't get me wrong, there's no snow in Melbourne but there is in some parts of State Victoria. It's really cold here in Melbourne which is the first time in a decade according to MX newspaper. Colder christmas than that of the christmas weather in the Philippines.

Christmas in Melbourne is so amazingly celebrated. People from all across the country come to Melbourne since there are so many activities in stored. What more can you do in Melbourne but to do your Chrismtas shopping since its there are a lot of discounted items here. I bought for myself FCUK and Polo shirts. Thanks to EY's David Jones' gift card. After shopping, we went to familiarise ourselves with the "most liveable city". As night time falls, we went our way to the place where the carols in candlelight is held but unfortunately the tickets are already sold out. We went to the city in front of the modern art building and watched the program dedicated to Vision Australia where we bought some candles for a cause. It's really great and awesome as there is a wide-range of activities instored for all ages.

My hands are freezing and as we are watching carols in candlelight in the city tv. After the first break, we went home to protect ourselves with the cold weather. It's really amasingly bizzare since the weather is so could that it should have been hot since its summer season in Australia but still it helped me feel the Christmas spirit. It was such a magnificent event after all..
