Silly season on the Southside!

Feature with Amanda Sheehan

It’s not a trifle matter for some Lunch at home with all the trimmings, attending a church service or heading to the beach. At this time of year the question on everyone’s lips is “What are you doing for Christmas?” Amanda Sheehan took to the streets to ask Southsiders about their plans for Christmas Day and those all-important Christmas traditions.

It’s all about the trifle Clarice from Sunnybank has always believed that Christmas is a special time, and at ninety-four she has certainly enjoyed her share of Christmas dinners.

Having grown up in country Queensland, she recalls a time when foods such as chicken and turkey were not readily available, and were definitely a luxury reserved just for Christmas Day. For as long as she can remember, Clarice has made a trifle for Christmas Day, prepared according to her mother’s original recipe. Best made a day or two prior to Christmas, Clarice explains that her trifle, which is adored by all of her family, consists of a port wine and orange juice soaked sponge base, followed by a generous layer of home-made custard and a good lashing of whipped cream, almonds and jellies. She explains that the mouthwatering combination usually has her family lining up for seconds and sometimes even thirds at Christmas lunch. “Christmas is the only time I make it, and I know they look forward to it every

FREE

year,” she says with a smile.

Her second and equally anticipated food tradition is to make a few Christmas cakes, again according to her mother’s traditional recipe. Clarice says that the best part about the cakes is that they can be enjoyed for months after Christmas, if they are not devoured first!

This year Clarice will spend the day with her family, including her children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren, at her granddaughter’s home.

Everyone will bring food to share for a relaxed lunch of chickens, hams, salads – and of course trifle. Last year the family decided to break with their lunch-athome tradition to enjoy a Christmas smorgasbord at a local restaurant. Clarice says that while the food was amazing, it is “far more relaxing to have the day at home rather than at a restaurant – and there’s only so much food you can eat anyway!”

Clarice believes that it is the simple things that make the day special. “It’s nice to make an effort with lovely table settings and decorations, which I always did, but the best part about Christmas is getting along with each other and enjoying time spent together.” Now who could argue with those words of wisdom?

Seafood and sand For the McKosker family from Springwood, Christmas Day is a time to get away from Brisbane and head to the beach. For the past twenty years they have spent the day with friends and family to congregate at the Gold Coast for a day of beach activity including swimming, surfing and beach volleyball. But the “piece de resistance”, as they describe it, is their delicious seafood lunch. “As a family we eat food like chicken and ham all year round and there’s nothing really different about that, so at Christmas time we lash out on a seafood feast.” uu Page 14

the morning they usually attend a service at their local church and then head back home to enjoy lunch with around twenty family and friends.

Susan and Andrew, parents of Shakiah (10) and Indiana (8), explain a favourite family tradition. “A couple of weeks prior to Christmas we get together to place balls on the Christmas tree. Each ball has a name on it. You pass the ball to that person and say something nice about them. Then they place it on the tree and select another ball from the bag.”

Susan believes that it is traditions such as these that are the heart and soul of Christmas.

Every year the family also enjoy attending a Christmas carols night that is hosted by their local Baptist Church. The free event is open to the local community and boasts fun family activities including a jumping castle and a petting zoo before the carols begin in the evening. “It is a very special time for us as a family,” Susan explains.

In order to remind their daughters of those less fortunate, the Drapers have participated in the Operation Christmas Child program for the last six

years. Each year Shakiah and Indiana fill a shoe box with a number of small gifts for an under-privileged child in an overseas country. “We believe that Christmas is a time to think about others and not just ourselves. We put so much love into these boxes as these children would normally not receive anything for Christmas.”

While Susan says her ideal Christmas would be a white one in New York, she believes that nothing could compare with spending the day at home with her husband and daughters. “I don’t want gifts at Christmas. I just enjoy watching our two girls open theirs and seeing the beautiful expressions and excitement on their faces,” she says.

SKIN HEALTH with Claire Mason

PLANTATION SHUTTERS – A GREAT INVESTMENT

WHERE WILL MY HARD-EARNED ASSETS END UP WHEN I DIE?

Increasingly a favorite choice for window treatments in Queensland is the plantation shutter. They are versatile, less expensive than custom draperies and can increase the value of your home.

They are the only window treatment that can be financed into the purchase of your home. Why? Because they are highly desirable and almost always stay with the home when it’s sold.

Plantation shutters are characterised by a wide louvre or slat, usually 63mm or 89mm with an option to go as wide as 114mm.

If viewed as an investment, they are a huge asset to your home.

They add instant style and appeal, help save energy and, if of high enough quality and well installed, are as durable as the building itself.

Full window shutters beautifully let in lots of light and view while protecting your furniture and rugs from sun damage. So weigh the advantages and disadvantages before choosing your choice of window treatments.

When shopping for plantation shutters, there are important features to look for. A custom shutter company will measure your window exactly and build your shutters to fit. Ensure you choose a reputable dealer who can fully explain the installation process and how the shutters are custom made for your windows.

It depends on whether or not you have a valid Will. There are technical requirements for the preparation and signing of a Will for it to be valid.

To ensure that your estate, your hard-earned assets, is distributed according to YOUR wishes rather than a legislative formula being used to determine who gets what, you should obtain legal advice and make a Will.

If your will is challenged in Court or has to be proven as your last Will, or if you die without a Will, the costs of obtaining letters of administration, if required to distribute your estate, will be substantially greater than the cost of making a Will. It also prevents confusion, conflict and stress in the future for your family.

“I don’t need a Will because I am too young. I don’t own a house or a car” – Wrong!!

The value of your estate may be worth more than you think. You may have superannuation, receive an inheritance, or in the event of an accidental death, the proceeds from an insurance payout will need to be distributed.

Before you pack your bags for local, interstate or overseas travel during these holidays, make a Will and then relax, knowing that your loved ones are taken care of.

If you have a Will, review it regularly, especially when significant events occur such as the purchase or sale of an asset, separation, remarriage or the birth of a child. Certain life events may also render your Will invalid.

LOOK FRESHER, BRIGHTER AND MORE CONFIDENT IN 5 MINUTES It sounds like a plug, doesn’t it? But it isn’t. Our title is a testament to the strength of the chemical peel. And it really is all about strengths.

Peels based on full skin analysis Peels range from “superficial” to “deep”. Each is based on the strength of the prescribed solution, the length of time it’s on your skin and the results you can expect from each. It is very important that a full skin analysis is performed by a professional skin practitioner prior to your peel. Your skin is very unique to you, so before any peel is prescribed, governing factors will be considered such as medications, general health or your lifestyle choices.

Used to improve the appearance of sun damage, fine wrinkles and mild scars, superficial peels can be used for most skin types.

Medium strength peels are used to treat mild to moderate

CORNERSTONE LAW OFFICES SUITE 36A, 37-59 BRYANTS ROAD, LOGANHOLME 4129 P 3181 5677 www.cornerstonelawoffices.com.au

wrinkles, long-term sun damage, age spots and blotchy skin, and even precancerous lesions. Deep peels treat severe wrinkles, longterm sun damage, surgical and acne scarring, and pronounced pigment changes.

Peels can be paired with microdermabrasion or laser procedures for more transformation and overall spectacular effect. We call this “combination therapy”.

Skin remodelling for strength, clarity and brightness Now note: This is not the time of year to be going through a full resurfacing procedure due to the amount of sun and heat we’re experiencing. This can cause discomfort, harm, inflammation and hyper pigmentation. There are, however, peel options available to help remove and rebuild your skin that are safe and very resultsdriven. Peels aren’t like removing skin from an onion either!

It’s not all about “shed the dead”. Through choosing the right method, peels can help remodel your skin, making it stronger, clearer, brighter and healthier.

If you seriously want to lose years of fine lines, sagging skin and sun damage, you’re in good hands here at Integrity. That’s what we do best!

Local Law Firm Wins Landmark Case A landmark decision has helped ease the minds of many funeral policy holders and their families, and has put local law firm, Burns Law, Springwood, even more on the map.

In a court case heard at Beenleigh earlier this month, Magistrate Joan White held that a fully paid funeral policy taken out in 1948 was legally binding on the funeral home who sold the policy.

Local Springwood lawyer Robert Burns, of Burns Law, successfully defended a Gold Coast couple earlier this month against a claim by the funeral home for its fees.

This win gives hope to many others who are the holders of similar policies and even to some who may have already paid out fees to supplement a policy.

The court found that the funeral home was bound by the terms of a policy paid in full, 35 years ago.

Robert Burns was quoted as saying “There would have been thousands and thousands of other people who paid for funerals they didn’t have to pay for”, and “It’s going to have significant impact on the funeral industry across the board.”

In 1948, 16-year-old Beryl Turner took out a funeral policy that cost her 25 pounds (a large amount in those days) and she paid it off diligently over the next 32 years. When Beryl passed away two years ago her son Gavin Turner and his wife Fiona made the funeral arrangements pursuant to Beryl’s fully paid funeral policy.

But the funeral home told them that the value these days of the policy funds would only amount to some $390 towards the funeral bill, and that they would have to pay a further $7195, even though the policy promised to deliver a fully paid funeral.

When they refused to pay the difference, the

Transdev Queensland presents

2014 Christmas Lights Tour Robert Burns - Principal funeral home sued the Turners for the balance of the bill. But the decision this month confirmed the liability of the funeral home under this kind of policy.

As more than 19,000 Queenslanders have taken out similar policies since the Second World War, this local case has raised much interest and brought much hope to others dealing with funeral homes under similar policies.

In cases where such policies have not been fully honoured, people may well have recourse and should seek legal advice.

Great Xmas gift ideas, craft, fashion and more.

Remove the skin from a leg of ham. Do this by making an incision along the front edge of the skin. Pull a little back, leaving all of the fat on the ham. You can ease the skin off by forcing your hand up between the skin and the fat on the ham. If you are using the hock end, I also make a decorative diamond pattern in the skin that is left on the hock. Using a small knife, make a diamond pattern in the fat of the ham by scoring parallel lines about an inch apart in one direction and another set at a 90 degrees angle. At this point some people put a clove in each diamond.

On the stove melt together a ¼ cup of Dijon Mustard, ¼ cup of marmalade, ¼ cup of brown sugar and ¼ cup of triple sec (which is the cheaper, generic name of Cointreau).

Paint a ¼ of the glaze over the ham and put in a 180 degree oven for ten minutes. Then paint another ¼ of the glaze on the ham and bake for another ten minutes. Repeat twice more for the remainder of the glaze.

Cool and store in the fridge. This recipe can be done a day or two before and keep in the fridge.

Once the ham has cooled, you can then decorate with glazed fruit, a ribbon and herbs.

If you wanted to serve the ham hot, place the peeled and scored ham in the oven for an hour before starting the glazing process, and of course this can only be done on the day.

Allow 200 grams of meat per person; for example, a 4 kilogram ham will serve 15 people after allowing 1 kilogram of waste due to the skin and bone.

Turkey with Apple and Sage Stuffing I always use a single turkey breast weighing approximately 2.2 kilogram, which I butterfly out to make a thinner piece of meat so I can roll the meat around the stuffing. Alternatively, you can get your friendly butcher to butterfly the breast.

Chop 1 onion, 1 green apple, 3 rashers of bacon and half a bunch of sage and sauté in a little oil and butter. Add this to a quarter loaf of good quality chopped sour dough bread and ½ cup of chopped pistachios.

Place the stuffing into the butterflied turkey breast, roll and tie with string. Place on a trivet of chopped carrot and onion and roast at 180 degrees C for approximately an hour and a half.

Stand for 15 minutes before removing the string and slicing.

This recipe can also be made a couple of days ahead if you are serving it cold.

PLAYING GOLF WITH

BACK PAIN?

Is your back pain ruining your golf game?

It starts out as just a twinge, but by the last five holes it becomes unbearable. You’re hesitant to swing that new driver for all it’s worth – fearing that you’ll injure your back even more. Or maybe you’ve had to stop playing golf completely because your back, neck or shoulder pain and sciatica are so bad.

Friends May Tell You Back Pain Comes From a Bad Swing...They’re Wrong!

If your drives are getting shorter and shorter and your putts less smooth, it has more to do with your back than your swing.

Studies show that about one-third of touring PGA and LPGA players are playing with back pain right now. These pros have the best swing mechanics in the world yet still have back pain!

Home safety tips for the holidays Every year around this time, many of us are looking forward to going away on holidays. Whether you’re travelling near or far, sometimes it’s easy to neglect the security of your home. Here are a few tips to remember during these holidays so that you have peace of mind knowing you’ve ticked all the boxes regarding home security.

Don’t tell the world about your travel plans.

I know you’re excited about what you’re doing or where you’re going. However, letting the world know that you will be away is fraught with danger. Social media sites like Facebook and Twitter can potentially make you an easy target for thieves and burglars. The ones closest to you will know what you’re up to, so don’t be tempted into letting strangers know that you’re not home by posting on social media.

Ask for help from a trusted neighbour or friend

HOLIDAY ESCAPES with Wayne Budge

Ask a neighbour you trust or a friend to keep an eye on your home. Tell them how long you will be away for and who might be coming to your house while you are away such as the lawnmower man or pool maintenance guy.

Give a trusted neighbour a key to your home and a number to contact you should anything arise. They can also help feed and look after any pets left at home if you can’t get anyone to mind them. If you have an alarm, also give them the access code in case of an emergency. The code can always be changed on your return if need be.

Ask them to bring in your bins and mail and remove any local papers from your driveway or letterbox.

buy a couple of timers and hook them up to some lights, a TV or radio. Thieves looking for an easy home to target will notice lights going on and off and will think that someone may be home, thus hopefully deterring them.

Leave your curtains as you normally would when you’re at home. Any noticeable changes such as curtains uncharacteristically closed for a couple of weeks could also send a message that nobody is at home.

Use security technology It’s a great idea to have a home security system.

Houses with an alarm light along with home alarm stickers on windows deter criminals.

Research shows that homes that have a security system installed are three times less likely to be broken into. A home security system also gives you some peace of mind while you’re travelling.

Consider having deadlocks fitted to your doors along with locks to all of your windows.

Save on your electricity bill

Make it look as though you’re at home.

Always remember to pull out the plugs on items not hooked up to timers such as computers, stereos and any other electrical items not in use. You will save on your power bill and will also prevent any damage to your equipment if there are power surges associated with storms and so on.

Don’t leave your lights burning constantly to make it look as though you’re at home at night.

Lights on all night over a long period of time can send a message to thieves and burglars. Instead

WRAPPING UP 2014 WITH INTEGRITY Celebrating Real Results with Real People The flags are flying at Integrity Paramedical Skin Practitioners, Upper Mt Gravatt. They have earned their stripes once again as a leading, ethical, globally recognised and multiaward-winning skin clinic by receiving four more industry awards this year including their submission of case studies of local clients, in the national Ultraceuticals RVR90 Day Skin Brightening Challenge.

Director Claire Mason flew her excited team to Sydney for the annual DMK awards dinner where they took out two national awards. Whilst there, they attended a Business Summit for 2 days held by internationally acclaimed personal and business growth guru Cameron Herold and spent one day at a presentation held by Danne Montague King, founder of the DMK skin revision concept.

While receiving industry accolades has been satisfying, what really excites the Integrity team is witnessing their clients making positive lifestyle choices that improve the health of their skin, like Sandra.

Sandra presented with a ten-year-condition called seborrheic dermatitis. She had excessive redness, facial peeling, tenderness and a waxy yet dry complexion. To accommodate Sandra’s budget Integrity prescribed a home care regime to improve the function of her skin and provide good barrier protection. As a result, when Sandra presented for her Month 2 skin analysis

consultation, there was no peeling, no waxiness, and her general complexion was calmer and not tender at all. She was very happy with the results.

Robyn Gipps’ family and work colleagues noticed the dramatic improvements in her skin during and after a RVR90 day challenge. “My work colleagues stated how well I looked and were amazed at how much my skin has changed … My children noticed my skin is better and even my son said I looked beautiful.” The result for Robyn hasn’t only been improved skin but also increased self-esteem. “I am even more confidant within myself and I’m trying to change

other things in my life like my diet.” Robyn found the team at Integrity very supportive. “All the ladies at Integrity have been professional and friendly and their addressing my concerns has made an overall positive impact on my life”.

The Integrity team care.

Each client feels special and welcomed, for example, through the little sign on the treatment couch before each session that reads “This area has been prepared for ‘Robyn’”.

The knowledge new clients receive in their consultations is often an eye-opener as they discover why their skin is in its current state of health. This knowledge is given gently and in detail, backed by science and sophisticated medical diagnostics. Claire knows education and caring support are key to clients successfully taking on new skin health habits. “Often by the time we see new clients, they have tried incorrect products and treatments, and spent a great deal of time and money, to no avail. In many cases the health of their skin has worsened,” says Claire.

“We are here to help. We give the facts, educate and explain what you’re to expect from us, and we are always available.”

A Vision of Integrity Integrity’s 2015 vision is to create more change in the community by increasing public awareness of the importance of protecting and looking after your skin from a health perspective, and to continue to be globally industry aligned to maintain their reputation as a top provider of up-to-date real results skin care education. They intend to continue their work of supporting local schools, charities and public education on sun protection.

In the meantime Claire and the ladies wish you Seasons Greetings and a healthy and happy 2015.

Watch this space: New case studies needed in 2015 Integrity is gearing up for the first of their 2015 90 day case study challenges.

Applications will open January. After a telephone interview 10 case study applicants will find out if they’ve been accepted. If so, they will only have to pay $500 and receive over $2,800 worth of products, treatments and fantastic results. But they must be committed to the program. Integrity submits these case studies for peer review as their contribution to the industry. So watch this space.

Staying Motivated During the Holidays

Feeling10 years younger.

Forgetting I even wear them.

Wondering why I waited so long.

Marveling at how small they really are. Actively participating in a meeting. Surprising friends by overhearing their whispered conversation.

Christmas is a great time to be with family and close friends. It’s a time to reflect on the past year’s accomplishments and re-charge, relax and get yourself ready for next year. Obviously if you’re religious, it’s a time to reflect upon the birth of Christ and what that means to you.

With Christmas just a few weeks away, I’m often asked, “How do I stay motivated over the holidays?”

If you’re like most of the 10 million working Australians, you’re about to have a couple of weeks off and this is the perfect time to set yourself a REAL health and fitness goal. Not just one of those pie-in-the-sky New Year’s resolution type things that never comes true, but SPECIFIC, MEASUREABLE, ACHIEVABLE, REALISTIC, TIMEBOUND, FAIR DINKUM GOALS.

It’s NEW and very exciting!

12 Week Training, Eating and Recovery Diary.

I’ve got just the tool to help you to record your health and fitness journey and achieve your goals in a sustainable way. It’s my very own 12 Week Training, Eating and Recovery Diary.

It’s where you set your 12 week goal, take a before photo and some measurements, plan your training, eating and recovery and then execute your plan on a weekly basis. On a daily basis you keep a track of everything you eat, all of your exercise sessions and your recovery regime. At the end of each week, you assess your progress and move on to the next week. Repeat this consistently over a 12 week period and before you know it, you’ve achieved your 12 week goal.

My training diary comes with over $500 worth of free gifts and for only $29.95, it is certainly great value and a great gift for a loved one. The only way for you to get your hands on my new training diary for Christmas is to purchase it from my website by following the link: http://prpt.com.au/html/TrainingDiary.html Pat Rae Personal Training Springwood | Mobile 0414 654 372 www.prpt.com.au

Here are my TOP FIVE REASONS why: 1. It will keep you focussed on your goals. When you write your goals down and then write down all the steps you’ll take to achieve your goals, it strengthens your resolve to achieve them. And by reading your goals daily, it keeps them at the forefront of your mind.

2. It will make you see your strengths and weaknesses. When you write everything down, it’s plain to see your strengths and weaknesses, and you’ll be able to focus on these areas.

3. It motivates you during your workout. When you train you’ll be making little gains in your workouts, and writing them down makes it very easy to see these gains. You will thus become very motivated – even looking forward to your workouts.

4. It keeps you on track with your eating. By writing down everything that crosses your lips, you’ll see exactly what you’re sticking in your mouth. Often, emotional eaters don’t realise how much or what they’re eating. There’s no mistake when you have to write it down.

5. It creates a reference tool for you in the future.

Have you ever gone back through old photo albums and reminisced about the good ole days? Well, using a diary will help you to see what worked for you and more importantly, what didn’t.

Summer’s just about here and it’s time to go shopping for swimsuits – or as we call them in Queensland, “your togs”. But do you know which swimsuit complements your body shape?

It’s easy enough to pick out a bathing suit you like, but it’s another thing to know if the style matches your body shape. Discover what body shape you have and find out what styles and colours complement you.

A straight body shape is the most common body type. It means the waist is aligned with the hips. To create curves the goal is to ‘pinch’ your waist, thereby exaggerating curves. Opt for frills and ruffles to appear more feminine.

If your hips appear significantly larger than your bust, causing you to look slightly “bottom heavy”, you are a pear shape. The trick is to attract the attention to your top half. The upper section of a swim suit should have patterns or bold colours and prints to direct people’s eyes off your hips.

If you have a top hourglass then your waist is defined yet your bust is still larger than your hips. Find balance between your hips and bust through solid or halter tops and light coloured bottoms that cut straight across your hips. Don’t be afraid to find something with a little ruffle or side-tied bottoms. The retro one-piece style will look fabulous on you.

Inverted triangle body shapes tend to have larger and wider shoulders than the waist. So you’ll probably prefer an uncluttered top as you have little definition between your waist and hips. A swimsuit with a deep neckline keeps you

looking feminine, and a great way to balance out your shoulders with your hips is to have swimsuits that have draping in the middle.

A spoon body shapes means you have larger hips compared to a smaller bust, with a defined waist. Tops that have ruffles, patterns or embellishments with straps that sit mid-way along your shoulders complement nicely. To balance out your hips go for a simple, darker bottom. Don’t be afraid to rock retro style bikinis or a pin-up one piece.

An hourglass figure shape means your hips are aligned with your bust and shoulders, with a defined waist. Matching your top and bottom will create the perfect balance. Try rocking the beaches with high waisted retro swimsuits.

An oval figure means you have a large bust, full mid-section and narrow hips. Swimsuits with an hourglass print or a crisscross wrap will hide your fuller mid-section. Lighter coloured or plain tops will steer the eyes away from your larger bust, and detail or frills around the hips will create a balance between your hips and bust.

If you’re a diamond body shape, you have broader hips than your bust, with a full midsection. Off the shoulder tops with belted waists extenuate your top half. Draw attention away from your hips by going for darker plain bottoms.

Keeping it simple on your bottom half means you can go a little bit fancier on top with some frills or embellishments.

Now you know what body type you are, step out onto the beach in confidence, wearing a swim suit that complements your assets and helps you be the best version of YOU!

WHAT’S ON AT THE LOGAN DIGGERS CLUB

New Restaurant Takes Local Charities Under Its Wings A new restaurant has sprung up in Springwood that’s not only determined to bring a taste of Texas to Queensland but hope for local man Tyrone Bowd who is in desperate need of lifesaving treatment, writes Wendy Millgate.

Texas Wild Wings & Pizzeria was established in Springwood by US ex-pat Brian Sharma, his wife Candice Clarke and Cecelia Clarke (Candice’s mum) as a way for Brian, who missed his home state of Texas, to “bring a little bit of Texas to Queensland.” The three are dedicated to supporting a different local charity each month.

“We are passionate about the community, especially local charities in need,” says Candice.

Each charity receives a $100 gift voucher, which they can raffle, and flyers and a donation tin are placed in the restaurant for the month.

PLUS Texas Wild Wings donate 25% of their takings from the last Sunday of the month’s trade.

Saving Tyrone This month they are fundraising for the trust of Tyrone Boyd. Twenty-four-old Tyrone is a local intellectually impaired man dealing with a lifethreatening condition – scrotal lymphedema – which means his scrotum has grown to a giant size and continues swelling. His only hope is lifesaving surgery in the USA, which means raising at least $75,000.

On Sunday 21st December Texas Wild Wings will donate $5 from every $20 buffet to Tyrone’s trust, whether it’s for lunch from 12 midday to 3 pm or in the evening from 5 pm to 9 pm. Their menu includes a whole range of wings (e.g. Texan Tomato and Hot Smokey BBQ), starters (e.g. Mild Jalapeno poppers and Monterey Jack Cheese Sticks), and then there are 10 different pizzas to choose from. This day also sees TWW teaming up with Biker Charity Support Group who is hosting a charity bike ride, beginning in the car park outside the restaurant at 9 am.

on the delicious buffet with fresh prawns and oysters as the highlight. This buffet is a ridiculous price of only $40 for Members or $45 for NonMembers. Not a member? Join now for only $2 for one year or $5 for 5 years, plus you get an annual Hyperdome movie card that entitles you to $9.50 movies. The buffet includes fresh prawns, rock oysters, roast pork with apple flavoured gravy, jasmine rice, battered pork with sweet and sour sauce, steamed vegetables, BBQ chicken wings, continental meat platters, chefs special potatoes salad and coleslaw, garden salad, bread rolls, dressing and condiments. Dessert consists of a selection of cakes, pastries, desserts and fresh fruit platters.

$4000 Unlimited Bingo Parties.

These jackpots must go off. Have a great time at the Logan Diggers Club Bingo Parties with free nibblies (mini pies, spring rolls, coffee, tea, cake etc.) and at the end of the Bingo Party there is a $300 Cash Gaming Promotion. Every time you insert your card into a gaming machine or swipe your card with any purchase in the Club either before, on the break or after the Bingo Party, your tickets will automatically spit into the barrel in the gaming room, which automatically enters you into the cash draw.

The family stock up on prawns, crab and oysters at the markets and transport their bounty to the beach for a feast in the sand. “It’s all very casual.

We spend most of the day in our togs and sit back in folding chairs. We don’t do presents for each other; instead we all put money towards the seafood and that is something we can all enjoy together. We couldn’t think of a better way to spend Christmas.”

No matter what you have planned this year, it seems that the best recipe for a great Christmas is to spend the day in a way that is meaningful to you, with people you care about.

Top Ten Christmas Traditions on the Southside 1. Christmas lights in the suburbs – Display your own or enjoy someone else’s.

2. See the lighting of the Christmas tree at City Hall.

3. Attend a Christmas church service.

4. Put out a bucket of water and carrots for the reindeers on Christmas Eve. 5. Go to Christmas carols – or stay home and watch them on TV. 6. Give to those less fortunate (e.g. Mt Gravatt Community Centre’s Emergency Relief Programme Tel: 3343 9833).

7. Wear reindeer antlers.

8. Take the kids to sit on Santa’s knee.

9. Have a Christmas street party to catch up with neighbours.

10. Open some presents on Christmas Eve, but save some for the next day!

We look forward to seeing you at Logan’s Number 1 Club.
