Christmas Markets

In keeping with our Summer routine of evening Adventures (as mandated by the heat) we went to the Night Markets very last one for the year. It was for Christmas, and Mum did buy some Christmas presents, but otherwise, it didn't look very Christmassy to me!

We stopped by the stall of the group who rescued my oldest brother Kipper from the pound - Australian Working Dog Rescue. They were busy raising money to help rescue dogs and showing people how great it is when they adopt a dog, but of course there was time for a photo with me!

I was very impressed when Mum and I brought a raffle ticket, they knew to put my name on it! (Mum let me use her phone number, though...)
After we said goodbye to AWDRI and we were done with the night markets, we walked a bit further down the Strand - and right at the end of our night, we finally found something Christmassy!

Christmas lights!!

Besides, Mum said this week I get to help her put up the Christmas tree and decorate the house for Christmas! She also says she has a surprise in store... last time I heard the word 'surprise' I wound up with a new, grumpy older brother who never wants to play with me (Yes, that's Kipper... I know he's old and blind and deaf but he really isn't very much fun...) but this wouldn't be another surprise like that.

... Would it?
