by Keith Donil
'This Christmas I hope to see snowflakes drifting happily down the way they do on Christmas cards-last year it was dirty brown dust-devils throwing themselves up spitefully in scorching whirlpools of heat, and suggesting anything but goodwill toward men.' Keith Donil tells how Christmas is celebrated in the Australian outback, with the temperature at about one hundred degrees.
