Crikey! The Australian Firefighters Calendar Is Here To Make Our Spirits Bright

Friends. It's been a long, cold, lonely year. We had high hopes for 2021 and well, maybe we shouldn't have. Sure, some things are back to normal, but as I come home, rip my mask off and sit down for another virtual meeting, I wonder where my consolation prize for making it through the year is.

Well, I am my own fairy godmother and I am here today to make all your wishes come true!

Traditions are very important, especially around the holidays.

I love making Christmas cookies with my kids and going Christmas Eve shopping with my husband. However, I also like flipping through the Australian Firefighters Calendar every year with a martini in hand.

And by martini, I mean a vodka soda in my daughter's collectible "Clifford" cup that she had a meltdown over at the movies last month.

As you can guess, I need a treat right now.

We all do!

So friends, here it is. The long-awaited, highly anticipated Australian Firefighters Calendar for 2021!

If you're new to this tradition, it's quite literally photos of gorgeous, buff firefighters from Australia posing with various animals.

I know, right? Now you know why I look forward to it every year.

For example, here is Aussie firefighter Nathan with a koala.

Oh, and he's shirtless, I may have forgotten to mention that part. But of course, they're ALL shirtless — it is the most wonderful time of the year after all!

If cute koalas aren't your thing, can I interest you in Dave and this sweet doggo?

Wait... who told Dave red roses are my favorite flower? Dave, you shouldn't have! I'm blushing.

Can you tell I'm blushing?

If you're more of a cat person, I've also got you covered. I know, right? I'm nice like that.

Ricky and this fluffy cat are truly making me swoon. I would call him to come to rescue my cat every single day, and spoiler alert — I don't have a cat!

Wink, wink.

Oh what's that, you're more of a horse gal? Well, don't worry — the Aussie Firefighters didn't forget about you!

Dennis and this horse are here to take you for a ride, sweetie.

Sorry, did I just hear you want another picture of Nathan because he kind of has that Jax Teller from "Sons of Anarchy" thing going on? Me too!

I don't blame you, I think he might be my favorite too but shhh, don't tell the others!

If you've been scrolling through these pictures and thinking "yeah, they're great but the animals are distracting!" then don't worry — I've got you covered, too!

Here is Ben in all his unobstructed glory and let me just say, I am loving his tattoos!

If you're looking for more of a beach-y, boardwalk Christmas vibe, look no further than Matt's picture!

I'm loving the distressed, colorful wall behind him!

Now if only I could get his advice on my bed... roompaint, because clearly he's got an eye for detail!

Well, ladies, I hope this brightened your year!
