A very Australian Christmas

All sunshine and blue skies and kookaburras laughing their asses off in the trees above, a perfect day in our gorgeous back yard in good old Willunga. Combined with the middle eastern-themed Christmas lunch (see Victory Kebabs below), it doesn't get much better than this.
Our back yard - if you haven't noticed, this is not Cairo
Victory Kebabs - from bottom to top: Pommegranate, Cherry and Shiraz Lamb Kebabs; Mango and Mint Lamb Kebabs; Chicken Shish Tawouk. The pommegranate oes were the best kebabs I've ever made - and the best I've ever eaten as well....
A satisfied Gara-Smith family - note the tarbouche/fez being worn by my dad (standing, centre) and uncle (to the left) - the Egyptianization of my family continues apace. They are now all in love with Baba Ghanoug, Tehina and fine Fezez and Pashmina scarves, so all is going as planned.
More pics of Paradise to come....

Tom! Merry Christmas! your lunch looked awesome, even to a fundamentalist vegetarian!
I hope you wore your blue galabeyya! :)
Is that Svetika?
yes, it's me! joing in Tom's celebrations, was awesome! guess what we started with, oysters with vodka :) and yes, Tom wore a blue dress, and more than that, every male member of the family had red egyption hats, quite an outlook for an aussie christmas lunch hehe
Good call on the Mango-Mint.
Happy New Year, tommy g.
