Another Christmas, Another Dodgy Selfie

Wishing you and your family a Merry Christmas from Down Under!!!

RecipeTin Eats Christmas - Nagi and Dozer

Just like last year, it was 2 days before Christmas when I realised I didn’t have a Christmas photo and found myself scrambling to take a last minute picture so I could send out Happy Holiday wishes.

And just like last year, I found myself gripping Dozer in a chokehold, forcing him to look at the camera in an attempt to capture a half decent Christmas-cheery portrait of us. Dozer attempting to flee at every opportunity, me grabbing him by his tail, pulling him back, dragging him into position, scrabbling to put his hat back on as the camera self timer started flashing….

Many, many takes later, the best of the bunch:

2016 Christmas Portrait – Dozer looking seriously unimpressed as I forced him to look at the camera.

2017 Photoshoot – Dozer desperately trying to escape….

….then spying the roast Chook I popped on the edge of the pool by the iPhone in an attempt to bribe him into co-operating….

…then finally, getting a passable shot. Ignoring the expression on Dozer’s face.

Christmas photo – (semi) done.

Now – time for some FUN!

Merry Christmas!

    A summer Christmas it’s an alien concept to me but that was also a hybrid of chili con carne and mac and cheese – and I came around that one in instant….so, it’s not all lost.
    Have a great holidays and enjoy all the food coming with it!!

    Merry Christmas to you and yours! Thanks for a year of fabulous recipes. We had the glazed ham, wild rice salad and looong pavlova as part of our Christmas feast.

    Merry Christmas Nagi and Dozer. I have been following you and your recipes for over a year and really enjoy them as well as the personal touches from your life.
    We made your meringue tart as the accompanying dessert for today (alongside our family pudding recipe which half my lot don’t eat) and it was just fabulous both in looks and taste.
    Many thanks for sharing your joy with us all.
    Best wishes for even more fun in 2018
    Love from Louise and family including Humphrey the chocolate lab and would be recipe tester

    Happy Holidays to you and your special baby! The photo of you two jumping into the pool CLEARLY SHOWS Dozer is seriously above “hat” pics and prefers good old pool play! A very sweet snapshot!

    As for me, onto prepping that awesome Trifle recipe you listed a few days ago…

    Lovely pool Milady! Even if Dozer’s expression on a few clicks is ‘Oh, Mom, enough already . . . . .’ Have a fab time and see’ya when we’ll see’ya 🙂 !!
