Santa, Christmas Eve

Santa came via the Jet boat on the river that's at the bottom of the caravan park as usual on Christmas Eve, presents were handed out to children staying in the park.

The park owner below along with Santa who is wearing a life jacket and has his sack over his shoulder.





Christmas lights on the caravan they blinked.  The photo was taken late in the evening however I should have taken the shot when dark.  We were opposite the river once again.

  2. Que buenas navidades habéis pasado. Nos encanta la vida de campig. Empezamos haciéndolo en tiendas con los hijos pequeños y nos gustó.Luego al irse los hijos compramos la caravana, la mitad de la vuestra, así nos instalabamos tambien. La tuvimos 15 años. Hasta Paris nos fuimos con ella. La vendimos hace tres años porque salimos más con la moto y nos alojamos en casas rurales o apartamentos en campig.
    Que sigáiss haciendo esta vida muchos años.
    Buen jueves.
    Un abrazo.

    1. Well you do know what camping is all about. You had your caravan for a long time and I bet you have some lovely memories too.

  4. I bet Santa was a little toasty in his outfit.

  5. It looks like an organic outing with Santa in the outdoor environment instead of inside a shopping mall. Caravan road trip is always fun. You seem to have a good time

  6. I wonder if other caravan parks put such an effort into Christmas.

    1. Never heard of one doing similar or the same Andrew. Usually someone would tell us or have told us if they did. There are people from all over Australia there in Christmas time, holiday time and Easter.

  8. I have to get used to a Christmas in the summer.
    With us it is dark and cold when Santa Claus comes.
    Now I think he's really hot in his suit.
    I enjoyed your photos.
    Greetings Irma

    1. Must seem strange to you Christmas being in summer. I can only imagine Christmas in winter.

  9. I always like to see Santas. The owner looks quite a guy himself! They both make for good pictures. Having kids around as audience and as gifts' recipients is a bonus.

    1. The owner he's a good man, he milks cows just a few, has sheep, ducks, chickens, a few Tasmanian Devils which are in an enclosure and gives talks everyday at 4pm about these animals and more for the children and adults too.

  16. Although we live here in the tropics, it's still weird to see Santa minus the snow!
    Delightful photos!

  18. Hello Margaret
    Santa Claus and green juicy grass - it's an unusual sight for me, after all, in my area Christmas and Santa Claus are always associated with winter and snow. Well, but you have a beautiful Christmas in the colors of summer and these also have their own charm. Kind regards and thank you for the kind words.
    :)

  19. So funny to see Santa Claus with a life jacket delivering presents. It's certainly a very fun Christmas.

    1. It's a bit strange to us as well, the life jacket but if you come by a small boat it's law to wear one.
