Yes, it get's pretty hot in Western Australia round Christmas. Some people here miss a cold Christmas so much they have "Christmas in July"...just so they can enjoy all that winter/Christmas fare!
PS: back to the draft stopper, if you sew a ribbon loop on one end you can hang it on the doorknob when not in use, saves tripping over it.

When we had that huge cold snap where it never got above the 20's for a week I just rolled up towels and put by the door.
Yes I am a tight wad, but its rare to have the temps below the upper 40's for this time of the year.
