Special Delivery from Australia

I have a friend in Australia. We exchange gifts through the mail each year at Christmas. I am sharing a few of the gifts I have received over the years. The only place I can see kangaroos are in the zoo here in the US. She knows this, so she always tries to find a different “roo” ornament to send me. They are all so cute. I actually found a small tree I can hang all of my special ornaments from Australia on and display them year round. Sharing the joy. Trying my hardest to get in the Christmas spirit. One of those difficult years. I know some of you can relate. Regardless, it is coming so I will make the best out of the situation.  Next year will be a better year. I believe.

Another Roo

This is another kangaroo I received last year from my Australian friend. So cool to get these packages in the mail.

Red Roo

This kangaroo was sent to me a few years ago from my friend. I think he is just as cool as the others holding a Christmas tree. Special friends are the best!

  1. These are great. It is also great to have a real encounter with kangaroos. I was thrilled to death when I fed them right in my own hands. In the sanctuary, they would allow you to scratch them behind their ears or pet their backs for as long as you are offering food. Lol!

  2. Although it is not a privilege of man alone, friendship is one of the most important things in life. Friendship is a special kind of love. Love that inspires us makes us better, braver, more real. Still, a real friend is hard to find, but when you find him you are convinced that there is no greater wealth than he has!

  3. I hope next year will be a better year for you, Carol. I find it hard to see my way through the next week, but it will pass, as other seemingly impossible-to-pass milestones have done.

  4. These are great! I love the Australian slant on Christmas. I have a fun book from there, sent to me by its illustrator shortly before she died. I’ll tell you more bout it another time 🙂
