Listen to Christmas Island (Stop Video First)
Here in Tropical North Queensland Australia Christmas is in the summer. Growing up in the USA this was a new experience for me. There is a different feeling at Christmas time here on the worlds most beautiful island. Most Aussies go the beach for a BBQ. This is a song from the Andrews Sisters set with some vintage and current beach photos.For Retro Christmas gifts on your list please check out www.oldsoulretro.com
