The Thinker

The Raccoon on the Hill

Do you identify with Surfing Sloth's whimsical wombat, perhaps, a coffee-clutching fox or other cute critters such as these cats living out their carefree summer holiday romance?

For many, Christmas is snow, dark nights, staying home by the fireplace, cuddling under blankets, and drinking mulled wine. Australians, on the other hand, have fun by the beach, by camping and getting sunburnt instead. OK, the latter is untrue, they are sun smart people. But Christmas in Australia IS a completely different feeling. 

Luka Va (aka Surfing Sloth) grew up with calm snowy Christmas and is now trying to get her head around the cheerful outdoorsy sunny Aussie beach Christmas. This card is a combination of both feelings. 

A greeting card perfect for Christmas or for well wishes to Covid honeymoon campers.
