Spooky Holidays

[Silktie]

Over here in SA it's usually above 30 degrees Celcius as well for Christmas, with a nice big thunderstorm in the late afternoon. Most South Africans have a braai, we're big on meat here. My family, however, likes to do the more traditional thing with the glazed ham, roast leg of lamb etc. This year, however, we've decided to have a prawn braai. It'll be just the immediate family that will get together on the 24th. We open presents on Christmas Eve, go to church very early on Christmas day and have lunch. It's our family tradition to buy presents that cost no more than R50 (less than 5 pounds equivalent), which is a huge challenge. You really have to put a lot of thought into the gift to find something decent for that price! We donate the rest of the money we would have spent on presents if we were to buy expensive ones to a charity of our choice.
