It’s 3 hours into Xmas morning down under with the county’s first heat wave of summer pushing the temperature over 40 c / 100 f for many Aussies. A cold turkey sandwich on the beach is for many of use part of our Xmas.
I know there’s a very serious cold snap for many of you so I thought of sharing an Australian Christmas song as a distraction . It was a toss up between Paul Kelly’s “ who’s going to make the gravy “ and Tim Minchin’s “ white wine in the sun” so anyway here’s both. Merry Christmas all.

Merry Christmas everyone.
So far we’ve had my family over and my wife’s over and we are done Christmasing.
It’s quite a relief as we both have over a dozen people coming over for dinner on holidays. I think we officially had 33 people total on two days.
Here are my two daughters and seven of my eight granddaughters. The 8th finally made it too.
It used to be rough keeping all those kids in line, but now they are all adults or nearly so.
I remember it like it was just yesterday, that I was making them pancakes for breakfast & helping them change their pajamas. But they’ve grown so much and there’s far less nonsense. They are cooking and bringing over food for me, and no fighting at the kitchen table!
(Not like Felix and Dyson who are basically having it out every day.)
“Get away from my food!” LOL

Grischt (“Christ”) + Daag (“day”)
Everyone = yedermann
Pennsylvania Dutch Dictionary: yedermann
Very cool. I grew up in Pgh PA, so Pennsylvannia Dutch was other side of state. But I did get to visit Lancaster PA
Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas to everyone. Glad I had a family party with my husband, mom, 2 kids and 7 grandkids last week. We were to go to my brother's to spend dinner with his family, but I got extremely ill Friday morning and it's only gotten worse. Treating symptoms but will go to Urgent Care first thing in the morning. Coughing so violently, will be another long night. Ho ho ho!

I was also wondering what kind of language it was. I did recognize a german thing in it. But usually germans say "Fröhliche Weihnachten" when they wanna say "Merry Christmas".
And it's true what DoubleDutch has already mentioned, a lot of words/names with "dutch" in it are related to the germans and not the dutch. It's a corruption of the dutch word "duits" what the dutch use te refer to the word "german".

I went to an Urgent Care this morning and indeed, I have the flu in spite of my flu shot 2 months ago. But the doc said without it, I'd likely be a patient in the hospital now. So as bad as this has been, it could've been worse. I wish you complete healing soon, we should be okay by next year! What a week.

Yes it is but has it’s base in German so can sound similar.
They also speak French in Luxembourg, my sister lived there for several years before moving to Brussels.
And on that note as Christmas Day has passed & before this starts wandering off further I’ll close this thread ready for a New Year one
