We had deep snow in NH for a White Christmas this year...but good for the ski economy that keeps our area going in winter. Maybe we'll all have to visit Yvonne next year!

It seems so funny to think of cold salads and tropical fruit as being a part of the holiday meals. I can only think they must be similar to our traditional 4th of July dinners. I have made up my mind to one thing though. My Christmas wish from now on is to spend Christmas with my buds down under. I like you're options MUCH better than my own. I'd much rather have white sand than white snow *sighs* I hope you had a wonderful Christmas - enjoy the sun a little for me too, would ya?

Pavlova is yummy too, topped with cream and fresh tropical fruit. Have a wonderful Christmas! Hi Laura

I wish I could try one of your mangoes. I understand that the ones we can buy here are not very good. I've never had Pavlova either. I live in Texas, so I have no guarantee of a white Christmas either. Our family tradition is to eat Chili on Christmas Day, but many Texans eat Tamales at Christmas. Hi Yvonne,
