With seafood or turkey and a nice cold beer
Or basking under the Australian sun
we throw a prawn on the barbie
and toss a salad for fun
No eggnogs, fires or snow here
We celebrate the day with our own brand of cheer

Avagoodone all of you out there in poetry land

Cool poem Eileen! That's just what it's like! We usually have prawns, salads, beer and wine - and everyone ends up in the pool it's so hot!

Merry Christmas.
