As the main lunch is at the inlwas our contribution will be rice salad, a cooked chicken, and some tomato, cheese and bacon bread, and some chirstmas sweets to nibble. We take our own drinks and keep in our cold bag as they only have a small frig for the food.
Easy this year.
Well it would seem that the main christmas day meal will be at our house this year.
We don't have air-con so we will be having dinner in the even when it's cooled down a bit .....
I'll do meat and salad and the rest of the family will bring desserts and nibblies.
