Date: 02/12/2012
Time: 2.30PM - 4.30PM
Theme: A Homley Christmas
(put your best singing voice on!)

"It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas,
Ev'rywhere you go;
Take a look
at your families past
and you will have a blast
with a yummy recipe loved by all

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas
Cakes for us all to share
Great grannies spiced delight
Or aunties favourite bite
"How delicious" we'll all declare!

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas;
We're snug and warm inside
take a look at your families likes
In this season of sparkly lights
And we'll all have lots of fun"

This event if you haven't guessed is all to do with family traditions, recipes and memories of Christmas at home.

Cakey Hints/Ideas

* Maybe a cake from when you were growing up and a cake your mum, aunty or granny made
* Or a recipe passed down
* or firm family favourites that you are asked to make.
* Or maybe just maybe a recipe your drooled over every year but never quite had the chance to make for your family.

P.S.
The dictionary defines homely as: " simple, plain, comfortable,unpretentious"
