Christmas Eve in Australia


We have as a family just celebrated Christmas Eve together. Four generations- Aunt Dorrie, my husband and I, our children Tracey and Glenn, and their fur babies Zoom, Jonty and Missy.


We decided on a typical Australian feast. Starters were nibbles of olives, gherkins, cocktail onions, kabana, cheese. Mains was seafood (prawns and coral trout) and salads, followed by pavlova (meringue, cream, kiwifruit and banana) with ice cream for dessert. The table was decorated and a Christmas tree was illuminated. We ate on the outside deck under the Christmas lights and listened to Christmas Carols from an old vinyl record (sung by Gene Autry). What a relaxing evening it was, before the hectic call of Christmas day.
We wish you all a very Merry Christmas and a Peaceful New Year.
