It's going to be a quiet Christmas this year with Jamie and Nera in NSW but we've invited a couple of friends to come for lunch. They're also on their own, never having had children and with no other family nearby. Because we have them coming, Marilyn is going to a bit more trouble to make sure they're well fed. She's ordered prawns, turkey and ham and various sweet things but there will be nothing hot.
It's crazy that, even though this is the hottest time of our year, Australians still insist on hot meat and vegetables for their Christmas dinner. Well, at the Christies there will be cold food and minimal washing-up.
