What is your favourite Christmas food?

It’s Leftovers for Warrick, the gift that keeps on giving, whereas Lisa is looking forward to her mums mean avocado and mango dip. Peters favourite is his Dad’s sausages cooked on the BBQ covered with Mum’s homemade tomato relish! For Diane it is her mum’s potato salad

Where will you be spending Christmas?

Warrick will be at home with family, while Lisa is going to be at her brothers place with her nephews, parents and daughters. Peter and family are heading for Mansfield, QLD – to his Mum and Dad’s house, where he can be found in the pool every day he’s there! And Diane is going to be with her immediate family at an Uncle’s house in Brisbane

What would you like ‘Santa’ to bring you?

Warrick wants all his 2020 classes prepared, or alternatively a ute, but realistically a pressure cleaner will do.        Lisa simply wants something fun, but Peter is looking for the largest packet of Peanut M&Ms being sold! Diane just wants someone that can do all her gardening and weeding for her.

Your favourite childhood Christmas memory?

For Warrick it is the big family Christmas lunches followed by a backyard cricket match. Lisa was wondering why Santa was wearing the same watch as her Dad and trying to find Dad to show him Santa’s watch and not being able to find him. Took her a few years to figure that one out. Peter loved the Christmas Eve family Red-Aces card game that wins year-round bragging rights! They even have a trophy! And for Diane it was having Christmas at her Grandparent’s granny flat with the extended family and eating her yummy food and German cake for dessert.
