00:00Well we're not religious at all. The family doesn't really, we don't go to church or anything like that.
00:09It's all about just getting each other a few presents and nothing major.
00:16So I usually spend it at home with my close family, husband, two children.
00:21We have a slightly odd, well we've developed a slightly odd Christmas tradition over recent years which is called Tat and Treasure.
00:28And it's basically around one man's tat is another man's treasure.
00:31And it's basically sort of passing on well thought out but unwanted gifts.
00:38And there's a series of questions. If you get a question right you get to delve into the tat or treasure bag.
00:43And yeah, you get to keep either what you've chosen or you can choose again to gift it on sort of around the table.
00:50Well Christmas to me is a religious event. I'm a Christian myself and I celebrate it by going to church.
00:58As regards all this commercialism, there's far too much commercialism and not enough focus on the actual version of the actual events itself.
01:13This starts far too early and I'm just fed up with it.
01:19Oh well it's a lovely time of year where people just get time to stop really.
01:24I don't have any firm traditions because I believe that Christmas should be flexible so it depends what's going on at the time.
01:31It'll probably be quite a quiet Christmas but just nice and peaceful.
01:35Christmas for us in Australia is the same as Christmas here. It's a getting together of family.
01:42For us though it's the middle of summer so Christmas is spent usually around the swimming pool with a barbecue and salads and fish.
01:53It's not hot roast meals.
