Cute drawing @veryspider. She looks very innocent, but I am wondering what she is holding in her left hand behind her skirt ... 😉
And she has a happy foot! 😊 And a sad foot ... 😞
Hope you and yours are doing well "down there!" 👍

Halloween. Interesting @veryspider. I guess not until now did I think of what that means "in the Land Down Under," as you are heading into Spring. Right?
For us, Halloween is definitely Fall weather and sometimes even snow. Overall, it's just sort of been associated with the end of summer and after harvesting ...
Hmmm. Have to try and picture Halloween in the Spring ... :D
Our Christmas is also a SUMMER xmas! Usually people are out in shorts and we have BBQ for xmas day :D (with cold beer * ___ *)
Halloween isn't that celebrated here, to be honest, it isn't very popular for Aussies. I have never seen a trick-or-treater in my neighbourhoods, tbh!
But, it always seems fun in the movies and tv shows * ___ * Dressing up as monsters and getting candies!!! :D :D :D
Thank you for the additional insight into your country @veryspider.
Christmas in summer!? 😯 The closest I experienced was beginning my career in Tucson, Arizona. Where we were also in shorts ...
Poor Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer. Just don't see how that great children's story works in the summer ... 😉

Hahaha yes! You should see our Santas! Poor people had to wear that whole Santa get up and the temperature can be in the high 30s Celcius! (Around 100F) and they are always sweating bullets, trying to be jolly around children that are hot and just wants their pressies XD
Yes, I can imagine pretty easily @veryspider. While the temperature in Tucson in December isn't that high, it is still plenty warm. And a "White Christmas?" 😧 Not happening ... 😏
When our first child was born (in early November), we decided to do something about it. Packing him and our presents up, we got all bundled up, with a thermos of hot chocolate and everything. Then, on Christmas Day, we drove up to the top of nearby Mount Lemmon.
On a nice rocky outcrop, overlooking Tucson and the surrounding Sonora Desert, we got out and decorated this little "Charlie Brown" Christmas (pretty scraggly ...) tree there. And opened our presents ...
We always have a good laugh about that memory. Even clear up that high, it still was not very cold. Or snowy. We didn't even need our coats ... 😉 But, hey, we tried!
