Christmas Cookies

Christmas time in Australia is often hot. It’s not unusual to be celebrating in 35ยฐC (that’s around 95ยฐF). As a result all the yummy, hot Christmas food is mostly off the menu – unless you want to spend a sweltering day in the kitchen.

But we don’t miss out! Many families have a Christmas in July. This is not about the religious significance of Christmas, however. Nor is it usually about gift giving and receiving. Instead, it’s a chance to get together with family and friends while enjoying a traditional hot Christmas style lunch or dinner.

July is also a good time to start thinking about getting organised for the coming Christmas. It might seem like forever away, but a little early preparation can save a lot of time, stress and money later in the year.

Each Tuesday in July, I’ll have a Christmas themed post covering things like recipes, getting ready for Christmas and gift ideas.
