Hello, Crimbo Diary 9 00:00:32,760 --> 00:00:37,080 Speaker 2: Pod coming to from La La Land. First ever Christmas 10 00:00:37,080 --> 00:00:41,280 Speaker 2: in America. Usually in the past, I've always driven home, 11 00:00:41,479 --> 00:00:44,840 Speaker 2: not driven jeeps. Can you imagine flying Los Angeles to Australia. 12 00:00:45,800 --> 00:00:49,720 Speaker 2: I've always flown home to spend Chrissy with the fan bam. 13 00:00:49,760 --> 00:00:53,840 Speaker 2: But as you know, Dad came to La kind of 14 00:00:53,880 --> 00:00:56,200 Speaker 2: around his birthday time, which is around the twenty fifth 15 00:00:56,200 --> 00:00:59,600 Speaker 2: of November, so we kind of had a Christmasy hang 16 00:00:59,680 --> 00:01:03,400 Speaker 2: with him. So, because I took a fair bit of 17 00:01:03,480 --> 00:01:06,399 Speaker 2: time off work to hang with Dad and then to 18 00:01:06,480 --> 00:01:10,720 Speaker 2: do that TV show in Florida, I worked. 19 00:01:10,400 --> 00:01:12,520 Speaker 1: Pretty much for a big chunk of Chrissy. 20 00:01:12,640 --> 00:01:15,720 Speaker 2: I got Christmas Eve off and Christmas Day off, worked 21 00:01:15,720 --> 00:01:19,560 Speaker 2: Boxing day. Boxing Day is not a thing here in America. 22 00:01:19,720 --> 00:01:24,080 Speaker 2: I think that's a very British, Australian and maybe Canadian thing, 23 00:01:24,280 --> 00:01:26,000 Speaker 2: but definitely not an American thing. 24 00:01:26,560 --> 00:01:31,759 Speaker 1: It was just beers is hush. We had a really. 25 00:01:31,760 --> 00:01:36,400 Speaker 2: Beautiful crimbo dinner cooked a roast lamb, a potato gritan 26 00:01:36,560 --> 00:01:39,039 Speaker 2: I hope I'm saying that right, peas and mint sauce. 27 00:01:39,120 --> 00:01:40,040 Speaker 1: Very Australiana. 28 00:01:40,760 --> 00:01:43,720 Speaker 2: Mum sent over a gluten free, dairy free pudding and 29 00:01:43,760 --> 00:01:47,080 Speaker 2: we made her famous brandy cream, but we subbed it 30 00:01:47,120 --> 00:01:50,000 Speaker 2: out with this spiced whiskey that we found at Traded Joe's, 31 00:01:50,040 --> 00:01:52,720 Speaker 2: which was so yummy. It was literally like nine dollars 32 00:01:52,760 --> 00:01:55,360 Speaker 2: this little bottle of spy with spice whiskey. It's quite 33 00:01:55,440 --> 00:02:01,720 Speaker 2: sweet but oh so delicious, so yummy, So we had that. 34 00:02:02,960 --> 00:02:05,720 Speaker 2: All the food was amazing. We tried a few crimbo 35 00:02:05,840 --> 00:02:10,120 Speaker 2: flavored foods from Traded Joe's, just like kind of like 36 00:02:10,400 --> 00:02:14,119 Speaker 2: Christmas Eve. Christmas Day, we got these gingerbread sandwich cookies 37 00:02:14,320 --> 00:02:18,080 Speaker 2: really good, but like definitely high in shugs and probably 38 00:02:18,120 --> 00:02:20,680 Speaker 2: got seed oils and all that. So we were like, 39 00:02:20,760 --> 00:02:23,919 Speaker 2: we just tried to keep our indulgences just to Christmas 40 00:02:24,040 --> 00:02:27,399 Speaker 2: Day and Christmas Eve. So we both started feeling really inflamed, 41 00:02:27,440 --> 00:02:28,800 Speaker 2: you know when you eat too much sugar and you 42 00:02:28,840 --> 00:02:31,799 Speaker 2: feel really like, oh your skin feels funny, you don't 43 00:02:31,840 --> 00:02:34,720 Speaker 2: sleep right, all that kind of thing. And then we 44 00:02:34,800 --> 00:02:37,000 Speaker 2: also tried these. I took a photo of them. They're 45 00:02:37,040 --> 00:02:40,240 Speaker 2: like they're called it Jojo, which is essentially a Trader 46 00:02:40,280 --> 00:02:42,680 Speaker 2: Joe's version of an Oreo, but it was the peppermint 47 00:02:42,880 --> 00:02:46,000 Speaker 2: bark kind of one and it was. 48 00:02:47,440 --> 00:02:48,120 Speaker 1: Really good. 49 00:02:48,120 --> 00:02:50,240 Speaker 2: I took a photo for you here they are. So 50 00:02:50,280 --> 00:02:53,840 Speaker 2: they're called the dark chocolate covered peppermint JoJo's and they 51 00:02:53,880 --> 00:02:56,680 Speaker 2: were really good. So I imagine Oreo with like dipped 52 00:02:56,680 --> 00:02:58,919 Speaker 2: in chocolate and then all these like bits of chopped 53 00:02:58,960 --> 00:03:02,840 Speaker 2: up candy cane peppermint candy canes stuck to the outside. 54 00:03:02,919 --> 00:03:04,440 Speaker 1: We had a. 55 00:03:04,360 --> 00:03:07,079 Speaker 2: Little air one date, I think a few days before Christmas, 56 00:03:07,080 --> 00:03:09,320 Speaker 2: which was really nice. And then we got this like 57 00:03:09,440 --> 00:03:12,360 Speaker 2: blueberry crumble pie to take home and that was young. 58 00:03:13,160 --> 00:03:17,160 Speaker 2: We were dogs sitting beautiful Maharlow. She was so lovely. 59 00:03:17,800 --> 00:03:22,160 Speaker 2: We bought this holiday ice cream from Van lu And 60 00:03:22,200 --> 00:03:23,160 Speaker 2: ice Cream and never had it. 61 00:03:23,160 --> 00:03:23,880 Speaker 1: We've got to have that. 62 00:03:23,919 --> 00:03:27,800 Speaker 2: On Christmas Day, Mum sent over her famous berry jam 63 00:03:27,840 --> 00:03:29,680 Speaker 2: and I got some gluten free bread and had that 64 00:03:29,760 --> 00:03:32,359 Speaker 2: for Breki both days, and then we did even have 65 00:03:32,520 --> 00:03:37,200 Speaker 2: pumpkin spice pancakes as well. And then yeah, we just 66 00:03:37,240 --> 00:03:42,800 Speaker 2: spent Chrissy with our mates Alex and Anthony and it 67 00:03:42,920 --> 00:03:45,360 Speaker 2: was so nice, just yeah, very and they have four 68 00:03:45,440 --> 00:03:47,480 Speaker 2: Christmas trees up, so it felt really christmasy. 69 00:03:47,560 --> 00:03:48,520 Speaker 1: They got dogg. 70 00:03:48,240 --> 00:03:51,560 Speaker 2: O's so it was a lot of fun.
