It’s certainly a special day for many people around Mackay and the Whitsundays. We’re just about a month away from Santa coming to town in his Kingswood Sleigh, and I’m sure he’s bringing his hungry reindeers along for the ride to eat up a few sugar cane sticks for energy.
Today is a good day if you want to get your Christmas shopping started. The Paxtons Night Markets are on at the PCYC this afternoon, plus there’s even more markets at the Mackay Showgrounds tomorrow, and the Troppo Markets next Sunday at Mt P.
So many ways to get Santa to have the best time this year.
Another way is to get your houses decorated in readiness for Dec 25. If it’s massive lights and trees out the front of your pad, or if it’s a small decoration on the front window, let us know so we can check out the locations and get into the Christmas spirit.
We love having the lights’ locations on the 4MK website to make it super easy to find the great light displays. If you’re riding shotgun in the car of a night, you can see where you are, and how close the closest lights are to you. It really is a great way to get into the spirit.
Oh, and another thing, have you got the annual Christmas Carols in the Gardens in your diary yet? Saturday Dec 7 at the Meadowlands Amphitheatre from 5:30. Santa will be making a very special entrance with all the kids there, there will be heaps of food vans, and kids’ activities. Plus, some of the best carols with the Mackay Big Band ready to get you singing your hearts out in West Mackay.
Plus, something cool too. Last year our Grinch was there running amok, well this year his lair is even bigger, and cooler, so you and your kids can get photos with the green guru and keep the shots as a memento of the great night with the family.
If you have a calendar on the wall, have a look at how many weeks there are left before Christmas. There’s five weekends left to get stuck into shopping and getting the house in order. Five weeks to start working out food, presents and of course how many bon-bons you must buy.
So many decisions. I hope it all works out for you.
If you are going to get that great spot by the beach for camping, get in now otherwise it may already be taken.
You can join Rob Kidd from 5am weekday mornings on 4MK 1026 AM in Mackay and Proserpine, 91.5FM in Airlie Beach or just ask your smart speaker to play 4MK on iHeartRadio!
