It's Christmas all year in Toodyay, Western Austraia / myLot

Rockingham, Australia

November 12, 2025 6:07pm CST

While our visitors are here from Bavaria, we took them to Toodyay (Too-jay) where there is quite a large shop devoted to Christmas. The collage shows some of the Mr and Mrs Santas available but there was also a huge range of everything imaginable that was to do with Christmas. I bought some Christmas cards which are put out by a charity and an elf hat for Vince to wear to the village Christmas lunch when it arrives. I already have a Christmas hat somewhere. We had a heavy downpour while we were in the shop but luckily it cleared up by the time we left. Do you have a favourite Mr and Mrs Santa here? I think I like the silver one best.

@JudyEv I imagine that stores are interested in buying to decorate their windows for the holidays.

I have no idea who would buy these. Maybe a store would.

@LadyDuck They are probably too big for most homes.

@JudyEv I don't know. It always rolls around to Christmas starting in September it seems. Retailers would love to celebrate it all year round.

It is indeed. I wonder what happened to all the months in between.

Christmas is an especially hard time for me; you would not find me in that store. I personally like the blue couple.

It's not a bag of laughs for many I'm sure.

I like the silver one too. There is a year-round Christmas shop in the state of Michigan in the US that I've been to.

They must sell enough year-round to keep going.

@JudyEv Yes, it's a big tourist attraction. Bronner's in Frankenmuth, Michigan.

I agree with you - it is the silver for me. I can't think about Christmas celebrations until power returns to our area. I cannot understand why it is taking this long

I'm sorry you still don't have power. It's difficult to do much without power.

I think the ones in red are the best. I mean, come on. Santa and red just go together.

Well, that's very true. In our climate, they should be wearing their bikinis.

I really like the blue Santa and wife.

We have a store that sells Christmas items all year called The North Pole.

They must sell enough to make it worthwhile trading all year.

They were all lovely. There were streamers, decorated trees, some lovely nativity scenes, all sorts of decorations.

Every corner you turned, there was another pair of Clauses.

All the pictures are nice and I don't have a favorite pair of Clauses. We once visited a Christmas Village when we drove out to Pikes Peak in Colorado. It was a small amusement park and Pretty and I had a really good time there. We bought several nice decorations while we were there. I keep one of them in the living room. It's a carved bird on a golden pedestal. I hope you and your guests enjoyed yourselves while you were there.
