[@user-Arty-2579au]

Hi Shauna, what about doing a not a cooking show just for special occasions - eg January, something green and gold for Australia Day; February, Valentines Day; Easter in March or April; Mother's Day in May; Monarchs Birthday in June; another Christmas - in July; Father's Day in September; Halloween in October; Thanksgiving in November. There's your year taken care of. Sorry I missed August - perhaps there'll be someone having a birthday. Thanks for the giggles. P.s. In case you're cursing me, take the above suggestion with a bag of salt. A pinch just won't be enough! Sip, sip!

[@thevintageread]

Great idea!

[@NancyDVI]

Oh yes!

[@SheilaEnglish2]

I really hope there are more of these No Cooking cooking shows. That fudge sounds very doable and with the green and red ingredients it looks festive. How inspired of you to add the coconut to simulate snow 😄 ( I always think it’s funny that Australians embrace all the northern winter imagery like snow when your Christmas is held in 30°+ temperatures . 🥵)

[@QueenOfScorpions]

I'm Australian and I really laughed when Shauna said that. Maybe it's wishful thinking on our behalf because it's VERY hot today here in Oz 😅

[@thevintageread]

Wishful thinking! 😅

[@Alexaklr]

I live in south Louisiana, USA, and we rarely have snow and sometimes we have HOT weather for Christmas but when decorating, we use fake snow. It can be 85 degrees and we have fake snow in our decorations. When my dad would see manger scenes covered with snow, he always said, "There was no snow in Bethlehem when the Christ Child was born". Sometimes he was a party-pooper. Pass the fake snow, please.

[@emmastewart3317]

@Alexaklr I'm in New Zealand 🇳🇿 and from Scotland. Snow is so over rated on xmas cards unless your up a mountain 😆 🤣 😂 In the streets it's a ugly danger zone. I'll have New Zealand xmas 🎄 any year

[@Alexaklr]

@@emmastewart3317 To be honest, when we get snow (every decade or more) it's very wet, extremely slippery, and everything closes down because we're not equipped to deal with snow. But the idea of snow is lovely for Christmas even if not practical. (wink)

[@helenowens2508]

in the 1990's I too had purchased Xmas gifts during the year and put them out of sight, and out of mind. For that year's Xmas I purchased items for my family and friends - again. In April of the following year while spring cleaning ( this is Canada) I came across all of the gifts I had hidden. This time I made a mental note of the items and was ready for that year's Xmas well in advance.

[@QueenOfScorpions]

😅 if only we didn't have to hide them, maybe this wouldn't happen!

[@janetbowersox83]

I hear you! Been there....done there! My birthday is in March, so every year my mother would give me a gift that she couldn't find for Christmas ! She never rewarded them, I received them in their original Christmas wrap! It became a great annual laugh for us all!

Your fudge show reminded me of my moms annual birthday cake for my step dad. His bd was on july 3rd. She made black forest cake. It had about 6 or 8 layers. Cherries soaked in kirsh. She spent the whole day making everything from scratch. She had quite a fun time with the kirsch. She would say...a little for me and some for the cake. The frosting was a cream frosting made from scratch, and on top she curled choclate and put cherries, soaked in kirsh of course. Best cake ever!
