  It’s that time of the year again to put on your Santa hats! Christmas season in Sydney is all about surf and sand unlike other parts of the world. No wonder, the whole of Sydney chooses to get outdoorsy throughout this season. Reason–Sydney is ‘hot and happenin’ in the true sense. There are numero-uno events and mesmerizing activities for you to be part of – so much that you will be spoilt for choice. Let me help you out a little, if you are pondering to yourself, “What should I do in Sydney this festive season?”...
