Christmas in July in Sydney
The idea for "Christmas in July" supposedly came from the Blue Mountains. European visitors who were missing winter back home. From this sentiment came a string of hotels and restaurants all rushing around to recreate a Christmas that Europeans would recognise and savour. Whether this works as a good substitute is hard to say but it has certainly become popular with hoteliers and traders in the Blue Mountains and has spread its way down to Sydney. So we say Ho, Ho, Ho, Merry Christmas everybody! and a happy new ??? In 2010, Christmas came early in Balmain with numerous fun activities but, unfortunately, Christmas appears to cancelled this year (in Balmain at least). Christmas is a time to be jolly so lets not despair, last year, the retailers in Waverley at Charing Cross got organised and it was: Waverley Christmas! (in July) - We are waiting to se if they will do it again this year (2012).Participating shops are making contributions to hampers, as well as in store gifts, with purchases, reductions and other surprises. On the day purchasers receive tickets for hampers which will be drawn at 15:30. The Waverley College Band to play during the day. This is a community event with something for everybody.. and Christmas, wouldn't be Christmas (in July) without a Christmas Harbour Cruise (from $55): Christmas in July on Sydney Harbour
The magic of a July Christmas is brought afloat with four hours of cruising on gorgeous Sydney Harbour compete with Christmas bonbons and decorations to set the mood. Whilst admiring the view tuck into a delicious Christmas themed buffet including hot roast beef, tender chicken, pastas and tasty salads. This is all followed by coffee, tea and desserts (yes, there'll be plenty of Christmas pudding and custard for all!). Christmas EntertainmentOn the entertainment front there's an explosive Brazilian floor show (with audience participation!) and a dance floor full of happy dancers having enjoyed the reasonably priced drinks from the fully licensed bar. If that's not enough there will be prizes to be won and giveaways to be given.
