Christmas in July is a very popular holiday usually celebrated by people in the US. It’s hasn’t been something that we have celebrated in the past, but seeing that Sarah now lives in Israel (where they don’t celebrate Christmas) we had to hold a Christmas just for her. In the weeks leading up to it, we each picked out a KK in a secret ballot and the budget was set at $10 (no one EVER sticks to budget!).
With Christmas Carols playing in the background, decorations throughout the house and us being all together again it absolutely felt like Christmas!

The Entree: Smoked Salmon with halloumi cheese on top of a mixed salad dressed with balsamic vinegar and a dash of lemon juice, Garlic bread.
The Mains:
Baked Cream potatoes, roast chicken with stuffing, marinated ox tongue, garlic mushrooms, sweet potato and a mixed salad with parmesan
Dessert:
Chocolate cake, homemade fruit tarts & a Chocolate Christmas log (great job on the icing Nikki!). Not pictured is the Vanilla cake and Pineapple tarts.
Then came the presents.......
and the laughter...
Merry Christmas Everyone!

haha thanks Helen, dinner at the Westwoods is always bound to be good! You know it could be an Australian thing, but I always see American sites advertise Xmas in July so I just thought it was American.
