Wishing you and your family a wonderful Christmas from sunny Sydney!!
As with every year, it’s not until the last minute that I realise that I don’t have a single merry photo of Dozer and I to send out to wish everyone Happy Holidays.
And so the annual Christmas-selfie-ritual takes place: I gasp with dismay, and in amongst the whirlwind of last minute Christmas baking, present wrapping and deliveries, I hustle Dozer outside for a “quick” selfie before scurrying off to another Christmas gathering.
I set the camera timer, then dash around into position, grab Dozer in a bear hug and try to smile cheerfully (yet serenely) at the camera as it starts flashing.
And as with every other year, it takes many, many takes to get ONE acceptable photo.
This year was a particularly good effort on Dozer’s part. He bowled me over.
Then tried to sleep on me. 🙄
Oops. Haven’t removed the price tag on the dress… (and it’s over a year old!😂)
Why I can’t get organised to get someone to take a photo for me remains a mystery.
Tell me what you’re doing today!! The RecipeTin Family Christmas took place on the weekend because half the family are overseas today which is actually Christmas Day. I took Dozer to the beach this morning to play with a dozen or so of his Golden Retriever friends, I’m writing this up and now I’m about to head off to spend the day with the family of one of my best friends, my “other” family.
🎄MERRY CHRISTMAS!!🎄 Our jeans might be a bit snugger tomorrow, but that’s ok. Diet starts next year! 😂 – Nagi x

Thanks so much Rosanna!❤️
Merry Christmas to you and lovely Dozer. I love your recipes and clever suggestions. Looking forward to more in the new year.
Thanks Anne, there’s lots more to come!
Merry Christmas to you and Dozer! It’s only an hour into Christmas here, so we’ll be grabbing a few hours of sleep and it will still be Christmas morning when we wake up! We will all have tight jeans by nightfall and probably be exploding out of them by the time the new year arrives, but can begin to atone on the 2nd. Loved the photos! 🎄 🐾🐾
😂 Here’s to a healthy January where we can get our pants done up again!
Really enjoy your blog and the recipes both from you and your Mum. The pics with Dozer are a hoot. We have three small dogs, one turns his back anytime he sees a camera, I have too many shots of his rear!!! One immediately leaves the room, she really doesn’t like to get photos taken, and the third will sit and look confused when his “brother and sister” suddenly disappear!!!!! In comparison your Dozer is so calm about it all, but that is typical Golden, unimpressed even by his bling covered Santa hat!!!
😂 So true!! They do say to never work with animals!
Just beautiful Nagi xxx Merry Christmas to you and Dozer and you’re whole family
Merry Christmas to you too Sharon!
