Missing
And what does on do with mistletoe? hmmm.
A few years ago, as some of you might remember, I spent a week in Hawaii just after Christmas. I discovered… Poinsettias grow really well in Hawaii. It’s not uncommon to see them growing in big bushes on the hillsides of The Big Island.
I once spent Christmas in Brisbane, QLD, Australia – where late December is the beginning of high summer. Go to the beach and see Santa in his jams, and how little his elves ere wearing! Nice!
qka… I’m having a hard time getting the images of elves in Speedo’s out of my mind. Thanks.
what does one do with mistletoe? kill norse gods of course!
Heh – I have Christmas music for Fallout 3 – and this is one of the selections:
How’d ya like to spend Christmas on Christmas Island?
How’d ya like to spend the holiday away across the sea?
How’d ya like to spend Christmas on Christmas Island?
How’d ya like to hang a stocking on a great big coconut tree?
How’d ya like to stay up late like the islanders do?
Wait for Santa to sail in with your presents in a canoe
If you ever spend Christmas on Christmas Island
You will never stray for everyday your Christmas dreams come true

Seems fitting…. 😛
The Auld Grump
anatman… is that so?
Grump… it does… but I would rather not step into a canoe. I do prefer my Christmases to be on the chilly side. So Christmas Island is probably out. But perhaps the Island of Misfit Toys would be alright.
@brig –
I should have added – FEMALE elves.
@ Grump But which Christmas Island. Two of them are part of Australia, and there are more!

the death of balder
@qka – Heh, I have no idea which island the song is about, though I think that we can scratch the one off of Nova Scotia off of the list. 😛 (Though I can attest that Nova Scotia does have many natives with canoes…)
The Auld Grump, I could not bring myself to link to Mele Kalikimaka….
