The Booby Prize
by“Why can’t I be a trophy husband?” I asked the kids as the family sat around playing boardgames over Christmas.

Only one slight issue this Christmas.
Why do we do it? Why do we buy so much food for Christmas Day? And what do we do with what’s leftover?
I asked my kids for their ‘don’t forget’ suggestions for Christmas. They all said ham. All of them. Because we’ve only had five half legs of the stuff in the last four weeks so, you know, they’re fanging for it.
Post in two parts. Firstly, the recipes from the Meals For Busy Families video I did for Woolworths and put up the other day (with one important difference), and secondly, I’m putting together a list of staples you must have in the house so you can guarantee to always be able to feed the troops at Christmas time. Would love if you could have a gander and fill in any gaps for me.
I am not a new parent so I should have known better…is what Tracey growled at me.
Here are my top ideas for something to bring-a-long to Christmas lunch so you appear helpful while still conserving energy for the present opening. It won’t surprise you to learn I’m super lazy about it 🙂
Not sure how it plays out with other families, but with only two sleeps until the big man in red delivers our kids their prizes for being good this year, we’re at the point of our family tradition where I don’t get to spend much time with my wife.
It’s not as hard you think…is something I only like to say when referring to Christmas. Christmas is the most wonderful, magical, exciting, smile-attracting and enthusiastically anticipated time of the year. Even more-so than Father’s Day. But it’s also stressful. Well good news, folks, I’m here to help.
Thank you to Woolworths for sponsoring this post 🙂
I don’t claim to have been much of an expert of the fairer sex when I was a young man, but I’m pretty sure I remember something about how desirable being swept off your feet and carried off to a fairytale castle was.
Been so busy watching Tracey’s dad work on our bus I haven’t had the time to blog. It’s all about to be completed though and we’ll be on our way again. Can’t wait. Meanwhile, this…
It’s March and I’ve already ruined Christmas.
How many photos are too many photos? Let’s test out the waters, shall we?
The problem with moving to the other side of the country about the same time your younger sibling is born is you’re a bit of an enigma.
