Christmas time is laden with tradition; in Italy, the children’s gifts are delivered by a kind witch called Befana on a broomstick and in Switzerland a tinkling of a silver bell heralds the arrival of the angel, Christkindli with a face veil held in place by a jewelled crown. In Mexico, Santo Clos brings the children presents, while mince pies and a bottle of Guinness are left out as a snack for Santa in Ireland.
Here in Australia a sunburnt Santa delivers gifts a-plenty to the children and our girlfriends, sisters, and mothers who have been more nice than naughty are given luxurious beauty gifts that deliver delight both instantly and well into the New Year…
