It is summer here in the Southern Hemisphere. The weather is hot and humid, but somehow Christmas is not complete without a decorated pine tree.
For my family here in South Africa, Christmas is a mixture of traditions: a Portuguese cod fish dish on Christmas Eve, stuffed turkey with all the trimmings on Christmas Day. In many other families it is a braai. Instead of a fire in the hearth, we have a braai fire. Instead of snow we have soft rain. Instead of egg-nog we have champagne (in my family at least).
It is family time!

Loved the tree! And a very informative post. Thanks for sharing and wishing you a Happy Happy New Year 🙂
Thanks so much! A Happy New Year to you 🙂
What a beautiful tree! Loving Minnie perched on the branches. We have had Christmas away in a tropical location twice. Although very different we loved it. Wishing you all the best now and through 2015.
Thank you :-). I haven’t yet experienced a Christmas during the winter season, one day I shall.
All the best for you in 2015 and I’m looking forward to reading more of your posts.
