Happy Christmas in July

Happy Christmas everyone!  Or rather, happy Christmas in July!  Today we're celebrating Christmas in July with a big feast, lots of wine and random games.  I'd never heard of Christmas in July before we moved to Australia but it seems to be a chance for everyone to enjoy the festivities of a Christmas day whilst the weather is cooler.  We can have a roast dinner for example, which is always a little difficult in thirty degree heat.  There won't be any exchanging of gifts, there won't be any carols but there may well be reindeer.  You just never know.  To be honest it's just nice to get everyone together, enjoy a meal, have a glass of wine and kick back for the day with nothing else to do other than natter and play games.  Ammy will be heading up the event and is currently cooking a roast dinner for fourteen people!  Fourteen people!  I wouldn't know where to start.  My contribution will be in the form of some sausage rolls and spring rolls.  Got to love a bit of finger food.  I've also delivered some caster sugar and a 5 litre carton of white wine.  That doesn't look strange at all.  Walking down the road at 11.00 with a big box of wine and some caster sugar.  It actually does feel quite wintry here today.  After what's felt like weeks of blue skies and sunshine we now have grey skies and drizzle.  Just like a Christmas day back in England.  And on that note I need to go and organise my finger food.  Cheers everyone and merry Christmas!
