Christmas Light Convoy Ahoy!

Right now, there’s only 17 more sleeps until Christmas.

That means there’s just over two weeks to finish your Christmas shopping, or in my case, start my shopping.

Let me say Christmas shopping isn’t really one of my strong points.

Coming up with ideas as to what presents to get someone really doesn’t seem to be that hard, but when it comes to my brain, nothing is that easy.

I reckon this weekend I’ll head up to the shops at Mt P and spend some cash on the kids, buy a few lollies in readiness for Christmas Day and my life will be sorted. If you see me at Mt Pleasant looking perplexed with a worried look on my face, fear not, I’ve got it all under control. Honest.

I will tell you a secret though. My head is still singing Christmas carols after last week’s fun at the 4MK Carols in the Gardens. So many songs that brought back great memories of growing up and I loved it. This time of the year is just so much fun. Music, decorations, gifts, helping people, and a visit from Santa.

To everyone who came along, thank you. We can’t wait to do it all again next year. I’ll also ask Santa If the reindeers could not use the backstage area of the amphitheatre as a stall, that would be appreciated.

A reminder that next week we are heading out on the road having a look at some beautiful Christmas decorations with the 4MK Xmas Lights Bus Convoy. We will have three buses each night taking a whole bunch of beautiful people to see the lights displays around Mackay and the Pioneer Valley.

It will be a lot of fun on the 14th and 15th so if you want to be there with me on the buses, listen into the breakfast show. Miss Honeybee will be driving one of the Emerald Coaches and based on what she’s worn the last few years, this year’s costume will be out of this world!

Remember if you are doing decorations and lights displays at your place, tell us on the 4MK Interactive Lights Map at the 4MK website. It’s free and it makes it so easy to find the lights that are closest to where you are. Add your address of lights and ones you see out and about as well. It’s 100% free, there’s no prizes, we don’t need to. Merry Christmas!

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!
