Southern Hemisphere Christmas

Last week the ad flyer for my favorite housewares store said, "Get Ready for Christmas!" And the stuff on that page was picnic tables, coolers, and picnic supplies. It made me smile. Lots of Southern Hemisphere December food is red and green: strawberries, watermelon, tomatoes, lettuce. No need to make red and green Christmas cookies, all you have to do is buy some fruit and vegetables.
