Michael Hill-Smith is somewhat ambivalent about Christmas. "I dislike the pre-holiday pressure and Bing Crosby carols, but I love our Aussie beach Christmas."
On Christmas day, a late-morning ocean swim is typically followed by Blanc de Blancs, cold prawns and crayfish.
"My favourite of all, however, is Boxing Day: no visitors allowed, watching the Melbourne Test and the Sydney to Hobart followed by Spaghetti Bolognaise and Barolo for dinner."

Christmas is also a time for playing highly competitive Wine Options – a blood sport in the Hill-Smith family!
