[HPFGU-OTChatter] what's your Xmas look like?

[Blue Dragon]

Another Aussie here!

I live in Perth, and this year the forecast for Christmas Day is 38C (100.4F).  I, too would love to see what a white Christmas would be like.  I've never seen snow. There's only one place in Western Australia that we get snow (on very rare occasions), and even though I've been to that place - Bluff Knoll in the Stirling Ranges - it was very warm when we got there!

Our two sons and one son's girlfriend will be coming on Christmas Day.  When everyone gets here, we will open presents, then sit, eat and enjoy each other's company.  We will be having cold ham, turkey and crayfish (rock lobster), along with a variety of salads for lunch.  This'll be followed by a chocolate macadamia pudding (sounds rather rich) with brandy custard.

We don't often have both sons visit at the same time, but they're always here for Christmas.  I'm looking forward to it.

Hi all, I am wondering what other people's Xmas is looking like. Living in Australia, we are in the middle of summer and so it's hot, rainy, and humid. For Xmas dinner we are having BBQ'd salmon fillets, sliced turkey breast, salad and champagne. We'll lounge on the deck and after lunch take a walk along the beach nearby.

I am SOOOOOO wanting a white Xmas right now!!! I've never had one, and since a lot of you lovely people live in the northern hemisphere, I would really love it if you could post what you're doing and what it will be like. What is the weather like and what will you be eating and doing next Tuesday?

Sharon,
who thinks Xmas in Scotland would be about the nicest, cosiest, freezing cold way to spend the holidays, instead of sweltering here with the aircon cranked on high.
