A very atmospheric program, specifically to evade the commercialised Christian festivities rammed down our throats at this time every year. Australia is a country of many faiths. I most certainly recognise that many of you are not interested in Christmas, and perhaps indulge only through family obligation. Whenever and whatever you celebrate, I hope you enjoy it.
