A Christmas Eve tradition which has arisen in the last few years is for all the local filipino community to get together on Christmas Eve. It's often been at Jamie and Nera's place because they have a bit more room than many of the others. However, this year another of the group is hosting it. Errie is a filipina who is married to Chris, an Australian fellow, and they have just moved into a new unit. They're understandably keen to show off their new abode and tonight is their chance. Marilyn and I are invited and are expected to bring something to share. I'll prepare one of my celebrated fruit platters and Jamie has been here this morning to make sure I understand the parameters: what size platter, what fruit I should use, there must be licorice allsorts, etc. I've already forgotten what he suggested and will just do it as I always have.
What's that adage about teaching your granny to suck eggs?
