Jethro Tull - Christmas Album (Fresh Snow At Christmas Deluxe Edition) (4 CD/Blu-ray) - 6th Dec 2024

Mine is still on it's way, trying to beat the arrival of Xmas. Lucky it didn't arrive yesterday though, it was nearly 40C. It would have melted to nothing in my letterbox.

I remember my Aunt & Uncle phoning us on Christmas Day and saying it was so hot they were down to their underwear and had even had to remove their wedding rings! They lived on Philip Island.

ImportCDs just e-mailed my ship notice.

USPS Media Mail is just code for “really, really fast... here before you know it” right?

Mine finally arrived this afternoon. Will put a fake fireplace scene on my screen and listen to it tomorrow!

There was indeed a Christmas card inside, one you could send someone with room for a full note. Forgive me if I don't mail it out.

I'm a bit surprised but still happy - just got a ship notice from Importcds. There's a chance it will arrive before Christmas.

I remember my Aunt & Uncle phoning us on Christmas Day and saying it was so hot they were down to their underwear and had even had to remove their wedding rings! They lived on Philip Island.

Phillip Island is on the coast (but not that far from me in the city). If they were hot, they were still in one of the cooler spots, being right on the sea.

I remember, before my family migrated from the UK, rellies already living here said everybody has their Xmas dinner on the beach. We migrated in Nov and so we duly did that after only arriving a month and a bit. We were the only ones! The wise aussies were all indoors, in air-conditioned comfort eating their roasts and xmas puds. Mum sat us down and we ate turkey sandwiches with grains of sand blowing everywhere all over our food and in our sandwiches. We never did it again.

30C expected this Xmas day (as reported by tonight's news), so cooler than the 39-something C of the other day I'm glad to report.

(Phillip Island is pretty nice BTW.)

Not ready to judge, as I'm only a few songs into this. Woo! Spatial matters, haha.

Deck the halls with walls of sound waves. Happy hols, everyone!
