I love a Christmas tree with mountains of presents underneath. Best sight ever.

Does anyone else get sad thinking of the moment all the decorations are packed away?

Oooo Blurry lights….so arty

I think my favourite part of Christmas is all the nibbles. Cheese and salami and crackers, Oh my!

I also love bringing blue cheese to parties cause no one else likes it which leaves more for me!

That face.

Spider is not impressed by Christmas. Not at all.

A day of family means wine is a necessity. Just kidding. But not really.

Meet cookie the devoted yet extremely scruffy jack russell.

Each time I spell Poinsettia correctly I give myself an invisible pat on the back.

Watching kids open presents can be extremely satisfying. The end result is a wrapping paper bomb site.

A better combination than tomatoes and fresh basil does not exist. Except maybe peanut butter and jam.

A fresh take on an old classic (Waldorf salad)

This salad was amazing. I was fed so much good food its not even funny.

The best part about a Kiwi Christmas? The ham.

This had whiskey in its glaze. It was fantastic.

Okay I spoke to soon…The pavlova makes a worthy competitor for the ham. It wouldn’t be Christmas without one.
