The CHRISTMAS Thread

[pagey]

Mrs jelly makes crumble topped mince pies, including tray bake ones that I can slice a piece of my own choosing.

Crimble crumble, why does Wilson come to mind?

A Christmas day trip to the beach is weird but cool. Granted, it wasn't summer in Florida, but it was still ~20C out!

In Oz some families will spend the whole day on or near the beach. If you pitch up early enough you can claim the insitu gas barbies which have a shade or (so long as there's no fire restrictions) take your own complete with your demountable gazebo, table and chairs.

We went for an early morning swim Christmas day just gone and there were plenty of folks setting up ready for the day.

I think we are staying in Toowoomba. There was talk of heading to Noosa but I think we are going to be inland this year

When I was over a few years back my daughter's BIL and his partner went to Noosa for a week hols in the summer. It was when two cyclones hit the QLD coastline at the same time. Pretty scary stuff.

They saw on the news reports that the two weather fronts were heading in. Most touros had the same idea to make a dash back home early. All flights were sold out, so they hired a car and drove back to CC, NSW!!

Noosa is normally cyclone free. More by luck than judgement. Amazing north facing beach on the heads. Property prices there are utterly insane.

Yeah!

Haven’t touched a single mince pie or anything like it yet (it’s been 20°C+ the last few days FFS) but Christmas shopping is almost done. I’ll be finished before November. Get the fuck in.

 

[Tyrannosaurus Dan]

It’s never too hot for a mince pie.

 

[Boozad]

How can you eat mince pies before Michael Myers has been on? Weird.

People are eating Creme Eggs from January, so I have no regrets

Genuinely was just out walking the dog & saw a house with a fully decorated tree with lights on and everything.

Some quality snackage going down here....

 

[machin05]

Although, these were even better....

 

[Tredman]

Normally I'm good with any type of Christmas snacks but all the crisps are just weird.

I need to try those turkey gravy crisps.

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

Good God no. Why ruin a perfectly good crisp making it taste of anything to do with a Turkey?

Everyone has to be wrong occasionally.
