I had an epiphany this Christmas friends.
Here we all are in the Southern Hemisphere, sweltering in 40C+ heat, and trying to have a European Northern Hemisphere Christmas.
No more.
This year, we leaned towards the light and the fresh for festive fare.
We wrapped simply, and embellished with glitter.
We celebrated with home made and earthy.
Cute Kitty Cat towels were stitched.
And packaged prettily.
Friends sent offerings. Nice.
And decorations were kept rustic.
The faux bocce` lawn came up a treat.
And whilst Sugar might now be considered evil, we had some anyway.
Bath treats were dispensed to one and all...even the littlies.
Accessories were key. Of course.
Miles of gingerbread was rolled and baked on Christmas morning.
And the Christmas cake was chocolate, ginger and cinnamon...not fruit.
Cherry turnovers made their debut as a new favourite.
And family all pitched in with their own yummies.
After which, all we needed was a fruit cleanse.
And a beach getaway.
