1
00:00:00,800 --> 00:00:03,800
Speaker 1: Jersey and Amanda Jamny down.

2
00:00:03,640 --> 00:00:05,480
Speaker 2: To the Jersey no matter of arms for the pub test.

3
00:00:05,480 --> 00:00:07,240
Speaker 3: And I really wish Amanda was here today because I

4
00:00:07,240 --> 00:00:10,520
Speaker 3: would have liked her thoughts on this competitive Christmas. Does

5
00:00:10,560 --> 00:00:12,360
Speaker 3: it pass the pub test? I don't think it's a

6
00:00:12,400 --> 00:00:14,880
Speaker 3: bad thing. We're seeing more and more Christmas lights up.

7
00:00:15,200 --> 00:00:18,120
Speaker 3: It looks nicer, Gary Martin and the Telegraph has written

8
00:00:18,400 --> 00:00:22,160
Speaker 3: that we're getting away from Christmas, the true meaning thereof,

9
00:00:22,640 --> 00:00:26,680
Speaker 3: and it's become a competition. Christmas competition, an arms race

10
00:00:26,680 --> 00:00:30,440
Speaker 3: of bigger, more expensive or more impressive gifts. And it's

11
00:00:30,440 --> 00:00:33,120
Speaker 3: all for the gram, it's all for the WhatsApp, it's

12
00:00:33,200 --> 00:00:35,320
Speaker 3: all for everything.

13
00:00:35,560 --> 00:00:38,040
Speaker 4: Although I must admit, on my way into work this morning,

14
00:00:38,080 --> 00:00:41,400
Speaker 4: seeing that house in Long Reef and all the big

15
00:00:41,440 --> 00:00:44,680
Speaker 4: trees in the d Y Terminus yes lit up finally,

16
00:00:45,280 --> 00:00:48,000
Speaker 4: it did make me. It did make me a little

17
00:00:48,000 --> 00:00:48,800
Speaker 4: bit jollyful.

18
00:00:49,680 --> 00:00:51,600
Speaker 3: I'm just joyful Brian, that you brought up for d

19
00:00:51,800 --> 00:00:55,080
Speaker 3: Y Terminus. Yeah, that was great, and it's interesting. I've

20
00:00:55,080 --> 00:00:58,160
Speaker 3: got some friends, I've got a Nativity scene and the

21
00:00:58,200 --> 00:01:01,680
Speaker 3: little baby Jesus is it's proportionate to everyone else in

22
00:01:01,720 --> 00:01:04,840
Speaker 3: the Nativity scene. The three Wise Men would be probably

23
00:01:04,840 --> 00:01:08,640
Speaker 3: about half a foot tall. Little baby Jesus would be

24
00:01:08,680 --> 00:01:12,080
Speaker 3: about two foot in length in the manger, right, So

25
00:01:12,200 --> 00:01:15,120
Speaker 3: it's just it's like a gigantic baby Jesus.

26
00:01:15,200 --> 00:01:18,560
Speaker 4: So he's part of the Netlom, Is that what you're saying?

27
00:01:20,000 --> 00:01:24,120
Speaker 2: Right, of course he is. What do you think competitive Christmas?

28
00:01:24,240 --> 00:01:25,920
Speaker 2: Does it pass the pub test? Yeah?

29
00:01:25,959 --> 00:01:27,640
Speaker 1: I don't have a problem with it. I used to

30
00:01:27,720 --> 00:01:30,800
Speaker 1: decorate my whole house when my kids were young, get

31
00:01:30,800 --> 00:01:34,280
Speaker 1: the hobby up on the roof, put as many decorations.

32
00:01:33,720 --> 00:01:35,800
Speaker 4: As I put in the front garden, and I loved it.

33
00:01:36,200 --> 00:01:38,440
Speaker 1: So I think if people want to go crazy at

34
00:01:38,480 --> 00:01:39,560
Speaker 1: Christmas bright.

35
00:01:39,520 --> 00:01:43,040
Speaker 5: No, I reckon everyone sort of stopped making a bit

36
00:01:43,040 --> 00:01:45,440
Speaker 5: of an effort, including myself when the kids are a

37
00:01:45,480 --> 00:01:48,720
Speaker 5: bit younger. I bothered getting up on the roof and

38
00:01:48,760 --> 00:01:51,880
Speaker 5: putting everything up there. But no, I think we've I

39
00:01:51,920 --> 00:01:54,200
Speaker 5: think we've lost the spirit of Christmas there a little bit.

40
00:01:54,400 --> 00:01:57,360
Speaker 1: I think everyone's gone a little bit craykraz. I think

41
00:01:57,400 --> 00:01:59,640
Speaker 1: that we kind of need to tone it down a

42
00:01:59,640 --> 00:02:02,640
Speaker 1: little bit and get back to maybe just the basics

43
00:02:02,680 --> 00:02:03,360
Speaker 1: of Christmas.

44
00:02:03,480 --> 00:02:03,680
Speaker 5: Looks.

45
00:02:03,720 --> 00:02:07,040
Speaker 1: The lights are great, don't get me wrong, They're fantastic.

46
00:02:07,240 --> 00:02:09,480
Speaker 1: But I just think we're just going a little bit

47
00:02:09,520 --> 00:02:13,440
Speaker 1: too much. Let's just enjoy our loved one and enjoy.

48
00:02:13,240 --> 00:02:17,160
Speaker 3: Christmas and at least have proportionate characters in the inddativity say.

49
00:02:17,280 --> 00:02:18,800
Speaker 4: I'd like to see us get a little bit more

50
00:02:18,840 --> 00:02:20,760
Speaker 4: into it. I want to see Christmas lights on the

51
00:02:20,800 --> 00:02:22,560
Speaker 4: Harbor Bridge.

52
00:02:22,600 --> 00:02:25,400
Speaker 2: I think they already do that. No, No, I mean like, oh,

53
00:02:25,440 --> 00:02:27,560
Speaker 2: you mean someone goes down to Bunnings and pice of

54
00:02:27,600 --> 00:02:28,040
Speaker 2: rope light.

55
00:02:28,200 --> 00:02:28,399
Speaker 5: Yeah.

56
00:02:28,560 --> 00:02:30,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think that's something we could do on the weekend.

57
00:02:30,360 --> 00:02:30,440
Speaker 1: Bro.

58
00:02:31,720 --> 00:02:35,919
Speaker 2: Something We'll get some petty cash Amanda's away. I'd be great.

00:02:35,960 --> 00:02:37,839
Speaker 4: I've got the work credit card by the way.
