With Christmas fast approaching, it becomes time for my family to decide what we will do with ourselves this festive season. And this year, it is time once again for us to 'host', and invite all our relatives to enjoy a Christmas lunch with us come 25th December. Which I enjoy for a few reasons:
1. It's nice to see my cousins and family I wouldn't otherwise get to see too often.
2. The amount of stress and anxiety it affords some members of the family, and the resulting strains and arguments, are always highly entertaining. Sometimes there are very few, but sometimes they are plentiful and explosive, bursting throughout the day along with the bought cheeriness of the bonbons from Coles.
3. Food is plentiful and often nice.
Of course, small and entertaining spats are not limited to either my family or Christmas time. In fact, the Shadow Health Minister Julie Bishop has recently fallen under scrutiny for an apparently "cat like" action made in Parliament, directed at Julia Gillard.

"Hiss!!!!!!!!!"
Julie Bishop has played down the action as "just a little thing I do", in order to get "the girls to put their claws away".
She also laughed off claims that the vicious puncture marks in her so called Julia Gillard "voodoo doll" were anything more than "just invoking some harmless ancient and powerful curses to strike her down on the spot."
She was reported to have been placated when a saucer of warm milk was brought out to the bench, purring softly throughout the rest of the session.
