00:00A familiar seasonal rush filling shops tell tree-wide.
00:07We just buy like a small gift for everyone but it's like a secret Santa so like a plant or like the like a fortune or like we make some cake for our Christmas party.
00:16I just did it today and I've done a bit last week so I've got this crocodile inflatable toy.
00:27Darwin residents are busy snapping up local products ahead of the big day.
00:32Most people like big plate fish you know something to serve something to present on the table so lots of whole fresh local snappers really.
