next Christmas???

I realized last night that I have spent Christmas in 4 different continents during my life.
Christmas 2008: Asia (India)
Christmas 2006: Africa (Egypt)
Christmas 1999 & 1987: Europe (France & England respectively)
Also Christmas 1980 or 79 in England but I don't remember it so that doesn't count.
And all the rest in North America.
Which makes me wonder...is there a Christmas in Australia in my future?
Just one of those things I was thinking about as I had my Indian Christmas.
Anyway, it is somewhat, dare I say it...chilly today. It will warm up nicely by mid day but I was definitely chilly. I have to wear open toed shoes because of a toe issue (long story but the short version is that my big toe needs to breathe) and today is the first day since I have been here when I have wanted closed toed shoes.
I'm not complaining about the cold but was just surprised by it...I complained enough about the heat in the summer that I promise not to complain about it being cold here because I fully plan on complaining about the heat again next summer (seriously, it gets crazy hot here).
Happy Boxing Day! Hope everyone has a nice weekend. I wish there were after Christmas sales here, I have this innate desire to go shopping and try to get some deals...I guess I'll just do some haggling instead, usually haggling exhausts me so I guess I should take advantage of my desire and go get myself a deal!
