Weekend Cooking: Gravy Day (with White Wine)

I am a couple of days early with this because Gravy Day isn't until Monday really, but for my Weekend Cooking post this week I wanted to share a couple of songs about Christmas. Why is December 21 called Gravy Day? Well, listen to the words of the first song and you will find out!

This year is certainly going to be a very unusual Christmas for many people,with many unable to travel to celebrate with family and friends as they usually would. This first song is about a family who are unable to be together for a different reason.

Paul Kelly, who wrote and performed this song is an Australian music legend, and he is definitely a storyteller. Many of his songs tell stories, which I love.

As you know, I am in Australia, so for us Christmas often means hot weather and sunshine, rather than the more traditional cold weather and snow that is generally portrayed as being Christmassy. This song, by Australian comedian/musician Tim Minchin is now one of my favourite songs. I was going to say something about it being new, but the reality is that it has been out for more than 10 years now. Whilst we will most likely have a traditional lunch, no matter how hot it is, the reality is that at least part of our day might be spent outside, drinking white wine in the sun, or maybe a nice sparkling rose. We'll see.

To all of you who are celebrating this week, I wish you a very safe and happy Christmas! And if you are celebrating your own faith's holidays, I wish you all peace and as much joy as possible at the end of this very strange year. 

And I thank each of you for your continued support of Weekend Cooking!
