WelcomeReady or not, the Christmas countdown has begun! An occasion to share love, gifts and quality time with family and friends,

everyone knows it isn’t all holiday cheer! Preparations can be busy and stressful, but do not fear: this year, we are here to

help! From gift ideas to decoration inspiration, here at Caringbah Home, we’ve got Christmas covered.

There’s always that one in-law who’s painfully tricky to buy for, the one who ‘already has everything’, the child who wants the

latest and greatest toy; this year there won’t be any awkward tensions when it comes to present opening time! With gift ideas

wrapped up into one convenient guide, there’s something in here for everyone from our diverse range of stores.

Your turn to host this year? Keep the silly season simple and impress your guests with our easy-peasy delicious recipes for a

festive banquet. Flick to page 20 for treats to tickle your fancy!

If you’re bored of the traditional decorations that reappear decade after decade, make your yule cool with this year’s prevailing

interior trend: metallics! Warm bronzes and shiny coppers have solidly established themselves as the season’s most sought

after style, and showing no signs of slowing down, it looks like they’re here to stay. Use them subtly or embrace the razzle

dazzle this Christmas with our inspiration on page 18.

Throughout December, let’s get into the festive spirit and share with those less fortunate than ourselves. By selecting a tag

from the centre’s Tree of Joy, you can donate a gift to Sylvania Rotary who will distribute to charities dedicated to helping

those in need. You can even have your gifts wrapped for just a gold coin donation with all proceeds going to the same cause.

With ample free parking, Caringbah Home is the one-stop-shop destination for everything you need this Christmas.

SIT BACK, RELAX, AND READ ON!

GIFTWRAPPING

Difficulty: Easy

A delightful, simple sweet to serve or give as

a gift at Christmas. A clever twist on rum balls!

INGREDIENTS

• 2 x 250 g chocolate ripple biscuits

• 395 g condensed milk

• 2 x 55 g Cherry Ripe chocolate bar

roughly chopped

• 2 x 55 g Peppermint Crisp chocolate

roughly chopped

• 1/4 cup desiccated coconut

Difficulty: Easy

INGREDIENTS

• 8-9 kg cooked leg of ham

• 2 heaped tablespoons (40g) of brown sugar

• 10-12 whole cloves

• 250g apricot jam

• 3 tablespoons Grand Marnier or Cointreau

METHOD

1. Preheat oven to 1800C.

2. Remove skin from ham by cutting through

the skin at the knuckle end of the ham, and

loosening the skin at the broad end of the ham,

pulling it gently away with fingertips. There will

still be some fat left on the surface. Score the

surface in diamonds or your own fancy pattern.

3. Rub ham well with brown sugar and stud

with cloves in each diamond, or however it works

with the pattern you’ve made. Cook in a large

baking tray for 30 mins.

4. While it is cooking, melt the apricot jam and

the Grand Marnier together over a low heat in

a small pot. Remove ham from the oven after

30 mins and brush with this glaze.

5. Replace in tray and continue to cook for

another 1 1/2 hours.
