[Coco] Christmas spirit, some snow, and a website

[Stan Blazejewski]

As another Aussie, I find it quite strange , all this talk about snow
& ice ...... geez, I don't even see that in the peek of winter unless
I take a 3 hour drive to one of the alpine nation parks.  Right now
the SPF30+ sun screen is getting a workout like it's going out of
style!
