It is usually very hot in Australia on Christmas day (as it is Summer). For years we have persisted with the traditional Turkey baked dinners in the sweltering heat (generally a british tradition). This is because our parents and grandparents have always done it this way.
A couple of years ago I broke from tradition and did a seafood spread, thinking it would be much nicer as there was no cooking involved. Believe it or not it wasn't nicer. It just didn't have the same feeling about it; it was too relaxed and the family tended to roam around instead of all sit at the table with our silly hats on; reading even sillier jokes.
This year we are going back to the British way of doing things but with a shazzam twist. I'm going to cook the roast on the bbq...
What are your plans for Christmas? Where will you spend it and who with?
