Anyone stumped for activities do over Xmas?
There's a few things to do here and there, but I'm sure there are things to do that some of us aren't aware of that others might know about.
If you know of anything going on in your city/region please share it here.
In my hometown, Melbourne. There's a free evening lightshow on Swantson street. I saw it the other day, and thought it was pretty spectacular.
In response to: What's on in your neck of the woods this Xmas?

Hey @CherryBomb
There are free carols on at Warburton (in the Upper Yarra Valley- Vic) Football Oval on Saturday, starting at 7pm I believe (and they are excellent by all accounts). We thought about going but I just don't think I can cope with the crowd. I'm already quite triggered. So we have decided to travel down to Melbourne on Sunday for a contemplative service at the church we used to attend in South Yarra.
Cheers, Kristin
