That night of the year…
It’s THAT time of the year…
When our hall comes alive way out here …
When locals line-up for burgers and beer…
Who are then drawn inside to applaud and to cheer…
Young performers dancing their little hearts out
Who do anything for a laugh and a shout…
Even Santa arrives, with presents for all…
But it’s kids who are centre stage, all standing tall…
As long as Dad’s looking, they give it their all...
No moment forgetten, in that little bush hall…

Got ours next week. I know there will be tears, because Hayden is graduating Year 7! I really don’t know where the time has gone.

FANTASTIC! Nothing like a country Christmas Party – and genuine!
Violet looks like the making of a STAR!
Thanks for the memories of years ago.
Wishing all your blogger friends and your family all the very best for a wonderful Christmas – now lets hope for that “stuff” in good moderation from above, eh?
That would make Christmas and the start of 2014 perfect.

There is something very special about gatherings at country halls. For such a remote place, it looks like a good turn up.

A lot of country halls look very similar….that could almost have been Jackadgery Hall…..

So sweet. It’s still so off-putting seeing Christmas being spent in shorts and t-shirts!

Poetry for the eyes AND ears (well, hearing it in my head as I read)!
I like that last shot in B&W.

Kids, family, friends, bbq, beer and entertainment (with much laughter and applause!). Sounds great to me. Beautiful photos Amanda.

Looks as if it was an absolutely wonderful night! You can really see how the kids will have fond memories of it when they grow up.
