As a final post from us for 2011, the we're sharing what Christmas time means to us, what we're doing to celebrate and what’s on our wish lists from Santa:
Xmas means lots of snow, cooking all day, candles burning and red lipstick kisses on my cheeks. And just before dinner, you can hear my brother playing electric guitar with my uncles.
On my Santa wish list there is: an Hermes bracelet, a new tattoo, a La Prairie serum and a beautiful crystal.
- Stephanie.
Xmas to me is family time around the fire place, drinking wine, cooking roasts, lots of sparkly decorations and being happy with those who you love. This year I will be flying home for Christmas for a few then off to the UK for NYE!
My xmas wish list is a Mac Jacobs rose gold watch, A Cannon G12 camera and a Stella McCartney bag (high hopes - come on santa/parents).
- Amy.
I celebrate Christmas with family & waaay too much food over both Xmas & Boxing Days. After dessert, my cousins and I get together with our instruments and perform a mini concert for the rest of our family, consisting of Christmas, Beatles and Queen songs that everyone does their best at singing along to.
I have my fingers crossed for a Gretsch White Falcon Guitar with Cadillac Tailpiece this year. But then again, I want that every year...
- Rosa.
Christmas is my favourite time of year! There’s just a sense of joy and love in the air and everyone is always happy. I spend Christmas every year with my family back home at my parents house on the Central coast. The best part is being woken up (very early) by my nephews screaming that Santa is here! The look on their faces is priceless... But most importantly Christmas to me is family, friends and FOOD!
On my wish list is a Comme des Garcons wallet, tickets to NY (dream on), Deadly Ponies handbag and Michael Kors perfume.
- Shantelle.
Christmas to me is two things - Family and Food. Oh, and LOTS of Champagne and Pimms. By the time we get organised - particularly if my uncle is hosting the gathering - we usually eat around 3pm. One year we ate at Midnight.
I’ll never forget the day my grandmother walked into the kitchen at around 2pm and asked anxiously if there was anything she could do to help - and Neil responded, “Oh yes, you can peel the potatoes.” AT 2PM!!!!!
It is a lot of laughs and sharing, and despite my outer scrooge I adore celebrating Christmas with loved ones - having a small family makes it all the more special to be together.
There is not enough space for my wish list on the internet, but here are some suggestions if you are feeling generous!! An Hermes leather bracelet, Alexander McQueen Shawl Collar Cashmere-Blend Tuxedo Jacket, and after that, of course, World Peace.
- Thomas.
Christmas is about breakfast in bed, orphan’s dinners, reindeer ears on my best friend Krumpet and presents of course! My husband Titus buys the best gifts.
Wish list is: to be able to celebrate Christmas with my family in Borneo and a Celine bag. Amen.
- Rose.
Christmas means love. My family, friends, my nonna and lots of Italian food. Nothing beats the smell of a fresh Christmas tree.
Wish list: A relaxing holiday...
- Rochelle.
Christmas Means: Family, Food, Friends and Fun.
What I want for Christmas: is Summer sunshine for poolside action. Or will I have to settle for the book?
- Claire.
