Speaker 2: Oh God, blackest Christmas.
Speaker 4: Get out, ah, what is.
Speaker 5: A black Christmas?
Speaker 2: Else?
Speaker 3: When they are stop, I had to stop myself seeing
Speaker 3: that was good media train name.
Speaker 2: Right, your dad Black Christmas. I remember that we had
Speaker 2: black Santa, and my white friends come one day like
Speaker 2: why is the Santa black? And I'm like, what do
Speaker 2: you mean?
Speaker 4: I just thought Santa was black. We always have black Sanda.
Speaker 5: We have black Santa at Marowena in Redfern too.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I know Marowena in western Sydney.
Speaker 5: I know there's two marouenas Mount Drewett, Redfern.
Speaker 2: So we always had black Sanna. It wasn't until I
Speaker 2: had my white friends come at a very young age
Speaker 2: and I realized that Santa wasn't black.
Speaker 6: Oh, I've only had white unfortunately.
Speaker 3: Really yeah, so I would have come over to you
Speaker 3: and we like, okay, I.
Speaker 1: Was going to dress up in that ship in four
Speaker 1: degree in Queensland, exactly.
Speaker 2: Right, Okay, so black fellows knew better, Yeah, but there
Speaker 2: fellows doing so Wales.
Speaker 6: So any traditions, anything that you do, traditions.
Speaker 2: Look, I'm not really sure I how to start with
Speaker 2: it to be fair, because I don't want to kind.
Speaker 6: Of drag your family.
Speaker 2: We had traditions though, so my nanam my pop blessed
Speaker 2: and they try their hardest. We would always go.
Speaker 4: To my other pops for Christmas.
Speaker 2: So the fun fact is that every Friday would get
Speaker 2: picked up by my nana my pop after school, even
Speaker 2: though I lived with my moms, my mum and dad divorced,
Speaker 2: got picked up by my grandparents. Would go to Colton
Speaker 2: because that's where they lived, so we would always be
Speaker 2: with them every single weekend and then come Holidays we
Speaker 2: would just go there and spend weeks at end. So
Speaker 2: Christmas would always be in my nad's So I always
Speaker 2: just had Christmas with me and my cousins and my family.
Speaker 2: It was just the biggest mob get together as kids. Yeah,
Speaker 2: but it wasn't like it wasn't I think I look
Speaker 2: at other people. We never had decorations. We had like
Speaker 2: a tree which sometimes beit gammin. So it wasn't like
Speaker 2: when I look at Christmas now and what my kids
Speaker 2: are getting, it's like polar opposite.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, I had a Christmas. The most fond Christmas
Speaker 3: memory I have was living in Mars and Logan. If
Speaker 3: anyone's from Brisbane's South Brisbane Logan the area that's where
Speaker 3: my family have been for the last you know, forty years,
Speaker 3: my grandparents specifically and my parents, but we couldn't afford
Speaker 3: a Christmas tree. And so my uncle's went and hacked
Speaker 3: a tree from the Logan reserve and just dragged that
Speaker 3: no car literally just.
Speaker 2: Like a pine tree.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it was kind of like it did give you
Speaker 3: Christmas e vies.
Speaker 6: I don't think it was like a proper but in
Speaker 6: my memory, and.
Speaker 5: I saved fifty because they are actually fifty.
Speaker 2: Bucks seed like two hundred dollars now.
Speaker 3: But it was like the trunk was this big. It
Speaker 3: was and it was hard. It just kind of leant
Speaker 3: into the corner of the house. In that corner of
Speaker 3: the house.
Speaker 2: They did it properly, yes, And then my.
Speaker 6: Step my mum's boyfriend at the time.
Speaker 3: I was so happy. I woke up on Christmas and
Speaker 3: I had a brand new bike and this was like
Speaker 3: a major Christmas for us, because you know, we didn't
Speaker 3: really get lavish gifts, but I was so keen on
Speaker 3: a bike. And then a few days later I found
Speaker 3: out that my mum's boyfriend had stolen another kid's bikes,
Speaker 3: spray painted it and gave it to me. And because
Speaker 3: three days later this kid was like, that's my bike.
Speaker 3: I stretched the paint and he was like, that's my bike.
Speaker 3: And I traumatizing for me because we had to give
Speaker 3: it back.
Speaker 6: And that's not that's a real life story.
Speaker 5: That is the blackest Christmas. Oh my god. You know
Speaker 5: this is people that have been oppressed.
Speaker 1: I just remember, you know, we're talking about blackfellows that
Speaker 1: have had no intergenerational wealth passed down. We're talking about
Speaker 1: our grandmothers and grandfathers being slaves in this country. For
Speaker 1: people that are not familiar with Australian history, this is
Speaker 1: our reality.
Speaker 5: No, we don't get all this extra money off the
Speaker 5: outness because we did. Ginny wouldn't give the bike back.
Speaker 3: I know, it's funny, right because I was just going
Speaker 3: to say, I think today like you see these young
Speaker 3: fellows and my I actually went shopping with my niece
Speaker 3: and my sister yesterday. My niece Charlie, she's four, and
Speaker 3: it's the polarizing, right, that difference. Like when we grew up,
Speaker 3: it was like you, I don't even really, I didn't
Speaker 3: count presents. You were just like, oh my god, I
Speaker 3: was so excited to get this bike that was then
Speaker 3: taken away from three days later.
Speaker 6: Anyway, save it for therapists.
Speaker 3: But my niece yesterday we went to Kama and I
Speaker 3: you know, she's out of she's out of day care
Speaker 3: on a Friday, so we have to take her out.
Speaker 3: So we were, me and my sister went shopping and
Speaker 3: we were buying stuff for all the other kids for Christmas,
Speaker 3: and so she was going, well can I have that?
Speaker 6: And I was trying to.
Speaker 3: Buy presents for her while she was there, pretending that
Speaker 3: her yes, for other kids. And anyway, my sister, Paul Darlin,
Speaker 3: she was in the trolley, just have trolley full of presence.
Speaker 3: None of them are for her, but all of them are,
Speaker 3: but all of them are really for her, and she
Speaker 3: was crying and she was saying to her, Mum, it's
Speaker 3: all right, I don't need anything, don't worry about I'm like, oh, Si, yeah.
Speaker 2: I think it speaks to like the difference though, like
Speaker 2: I don't think it's bad that kids nowadays, particularly when
Speaker 2: we have the ability to be able to provide from
Speaker 2: because we've worked hard, our parents worked hard for us,
Speaker 2: so we're able to have the job.
Speaker 6: Do you think that's why you do it? Though you're like,
Speaker 6: I didn't get this, so I'm going to go a
Speaker 6: bit kind.
Speaker 2: Of speaks to like any of the reflect growing up,
Speaker 2: like black love to me and my family. Back when
Speaker 2: I was younger, was about being connected and it was
Speaker 2: the small gesses. Now as blackfellows who have done the work,
Speaker 2: our love comes in different kind of presentations now. So
Speaker 2: I think it's really powerful that we're able to say, actually,
Speaker 2: we have the ability to give our kids that things
Speaker 2: that we never got. And it's just kind of fine
Speaker 2: line of saying, actually, I don't want to kind of
Speaker 2: over I guess gift our children or create that I
Speaker 2: want kind of mentality. But I'm like, why can't we though,
Speaker 2: because I've never write with it, but now I have
Speaker 2: the ability to do it. I don't want to give
Speaker 2: a secondhand bike that we stole to my nieces or
Speaker 2: my nephew's right, I give that.
Speaker 1: In those days, within those circumstances. Your your mum's boyfriend, right,
Speaker 1: your stip dad. He was trying to show.
Speaker 6: You love, yes, and he wanted to see me happy.
Speaker 1: Yeah, And that's what we want our kids to also
Speaker 1: experience that kind of joy and happiness. In terms of Christmas,
Speaker 1: Christmas is coming up and I've invited all of my
Speaker 1: family here. Well why not there's two because he bring
Speaker 1: your own sleeping bags this time. I hope that my
Speaker 1: dad's brothers, you know that live in Nimbu and can
Speaker 1: see my sisters come up from Sydney. I want all
Speaker 1: of my nieces and nephews, my sisters because of all
Speaker 1: of the trauma of losing our mum and dad. I
Speaker 1: want to actually bring back that Christmas spirit so that
Speaker 1: our nieces and nephews and my kids get to be together.
Speaker 5: Yeah, and I think we should do it for them.
Speaker 2: I think that speaks to the festive season, right, I
Speaker 2: think the festive season for me because Christmas is kind
Speaker 2: of like it's a bit of a religious thing. I'm
Speaker 2: not really that invested in it, and I've really not
Speaker 2: necessarily I've never really engaged in Christmas. So I got
Speaker 2: my nieces and I had kids. Now I don't have them, though,
Speaker 2: I'm like, well, I don't really want to celebrate Christmas.
Speaker 2: I want to acknowledge festive seasons because special seeds when
Speaker 2: mob come together. Right. So I'm now trying to create
Speaker 2: a different relationship with it, which I never had up
Speaker 2: until I never really acknowledge it exists until I had
Speaker 2: the kids. Now the kids are gone, I'm like, well,
Speaker 2: I need to create some level of connection based on
Speaker 2: this idea of what family love and how.
Speaker 4: We foster that.
Speaker 5: So what are you doing?
Speaker 2: I don't know. If God knows, I'm probably gonna be
Speaker 2: able to sea.
Speaker 6: To be honest, yeah, that's what I want to be.
Speaker 3: Sorry, I would love to do that this year. I
Speaker 3: am the grinch in my family. I don't love Christmas,
Speaker 3: although I spend a lot of money at Christmas. But
Speaker 3: again it's like that black guilt of like I don't
Speaker 3: have kids my own, but I do look at my
Speaker 3: nephews and nieces like I gave birth to them literally,
Speaker 3: and so for me, I overdo it. Like I have
Speaker 3: two younger nieces that in ones in high school and
Speaker 3: the other ones in grade six not to be in
Speaker 3: grade six, and I bought them like four hundred dollars
Speaker 3: worth of Mecca stuff because they like skincare.
Speaker 6: And my sister's like, you're doing too much, like, but.
Speaker 3: I just go over and above because for me, Christmas
Speaker 3: wasn't the greatest time either. My mum passed around Christmas time.
Speaker 3: I had an uncle who passed around Christmas time, so
Speaker 3: I literally was just for me Christmas is not that great.
Speaker 3: But I acknowledge now and my nun she sort of
Speaker 3: held the whole family together, and Christmas to me has
Speaker 3: always been her thing. And now she's getting old, I
Speaker 3: think we need to probably look at recreating Christmas and
Speaker 3: what that looks like.
Speaker 2: But it's difficult back right after this break.
Speaker 4: I'm keen to know though. I know that.
Speaker 2: Jan you're a lovely man, so you're married to what
Speaker 2: does like the festive season mean to you and him?
Speaker 2: Because he's American, right.
Speaker 3: He is, so Christmas in America is very serious. It's
Speaker 3: a very like I have a friend who has you know,
Speaker 3: a black family as well. They take Christmas very seriously
Speaker 3: and it's very religious as well.
Speaker 6: It's a very religious time for them.
Speaker 3: So he literally it has a Christmas tree in every room.
Speaker 3: It's not one Christmas tree, there's a Christmas tree for
Speaker 3: every room, so that you feel that throughout the whole house.
Speaker 3: And I was like, this is a bit much, but
Speaker 3: I also.
Speaker 2: From getting stolen but given to and having Christmas tree.
Speaker 3: In every room literally and now you know in our house,
Speaker 3: I I think should put a Christmas troops in our room.
Speaker 3: I could just create the fact, but I'm the Grinch,
Speaker 3: so I'm trying to I'm trying to transition from someone
Speaker 3: who will enjoy Christmas because eventually I do want to
Speaker 3: have kids and I don't want to be like so
Speaker 3: I don't want to be that person, but I think, yeah,
Speaker 3: it is a very it's it's serious business over there,
Speaker 3: but very commercial as well. So I've loved Christmas in
Speaker 3: the US. It's very different obviously though, because Christmas in
Speaker 3: Australia is cold meats, potato, salad, prawns, go to the beach,
Speaker 3: play cricket or you know whatever you're into. For my family,
Speaker 3: the orchards, it's like, you know, we get we generally
Speaker 3: they will hire a hall in this country. Musical day Country,
Speaker 3: Roger Knox, you know, playing Corey Row that's for seven hours.
Speaker 6: Charlie Pride, just non stop.
Speaker 3: But over there it's very like turkey made it yes,
Speaker 3: cold cooking.
Speaker 1: It's big turkeys and all of the like black American
Speaker 1: poll greens.
Speaker 5: Yes, what is that chitlins.
Speaker 6: Listen.
Speaker 3: This is the other thing I went to when I
Speaker 3: first moved to America. They were like, oh, and he's
Speaker 3: got a huge family. So when I first went, they
Speaker 3: was so excited as a as a as an Australian, like, oh,
Speaker 3: you have to try this, and you have to do this,
Speaker 3: so they do. Not all black families do this in America,
Speaker 3: by the way, But they made chitlins, which is pig intestines.
Speaker 2: Wait what yesestines?
Speaker 3: Yes, And let me tell you they were they was.
Speaker 3: They were so excited, they were so.
Speaker 6: Excited to feed me.
Speaker 5: This just don't know.
Speaker 3: It's yeah, I think it's just in Testine wild.
Speaker 2: You couldn't eat the actual inning in testine it eat it.
Speaker 6: It's disgusting.
Speaker 3: Anyway, anyway, Cedric coast meat, you don't have to eat this.
Speaker 6: But they were all like, eat it, eat it. You know,
Speaker 6: I can't wait for them to come here because I'm
Speaker 6: going to do the same.
Speaker 2: Did you try it?
Speaker 6: I did, and it was fucking.
Speaker 3: But if they're watching, I loved it, every bit of it.
Speaker 2: Love.
Speaker 6: But it's like, you know when you boiled chicken that
Speaker 6: smell in the house.
Speaker 2: I've never boiled chicken, Oh god, boiled so what you've
Speaker 2: nest so growing up? You never had like silver side
Speaker 2: cooked boiled meat with cabbage. Yeah, silver side, it's the
Speaker 2: same thing.
Speaker 4: No, it's boiled. It's boiled meat.
Speaker 2: Though.
Speaker 4: Boiled meat has like a.
Speaker 2: Smell and it lingers and it's like it's pungent and
Speaker 2: it's like this, like it's that what smells.
Speaker 5: I was smelling in my.
Speaker 4: Wake up in.
Speaker 2: The Sunny coast and it's been forty degrees. You've got
Speaker 2: an air cons at your house and you walk out
Speaker 2: and you want under your arm pick like that and
Speaker 2: you have an that's what it boil meets And I
Speaker 2: was like, I'm telling you it's a dungeon boi and
Speaker 2: then put cabbage inside out of it. It's foul.
Speaker 6: Wow, it's really bad, but really bad.
Speaker 4: Really remember walking and it was good.
Speaker 6: It was great.
Speaker 4: Wait, see why were they boiling?
Speaker 2: So they put bowed chicken in the piging testines?
Speaker 4: No, did you get the boil?
Speaker 2: Like you're going back to these picking testines because I
Speaker 2: don't think you can eat testlines because it's.
Speaker 4: Got stuff in it. I don't know what was.
Speaker 2: They can we can feet, but that's not in testines
Speaker 2: and testlines are like the stuff.
Speaker 4: That you oh they eat pigs feet to pigs Feet's good.
Speaker 2: I had that in Fiji the other d actually, which
Speaker 2: is like a national Brazilian.
Speaker 5: It makes me want to be vegan, I know.
Speaker 3: And I literally was like I can't wait for these
Speaker 3: mom to come to and I'm just gonna be like,
Speaker 3: here's some kangaroo, which they as soon as I say
Speaker 3: we eat kangaroo, they're like, that's disgusting.
Speaker 5: Picking test and they give you some going.
Speaker 6: They're like it's so cute, and I'm like, skipping the tail.
Speaker 2: Let me tell you something, right, so you don't like
Speaker 2: in Testines And they bake this up and it's called
Speaker 2: what again, chit liens chitlins.
Speaker 6: Yes, and so they were like literally like.
Speaker 2: Watching me, and I was like, and they have this
Speaker 2: every time at Christmas.
Speaker 5: Well like a delicacy.
Speaker 3: Yes, but like Cedric was like, I don't eat this ship.
Speaker 3: You don't have to eat it, like it's not you.
Speaker 3: They just want to see you eat it as an
Speaker 3: Australian and be like the Australian came and ate the
Speaker 3: chillens and I played into it.
Speaker 5: Did you eat it and swallow it? You swallow?
Speaker 6: Swallow this?
Speaker 3: I always swallow anyway, swallowing it. And then I was like, yeah,
Speaker 3: that's great, but I didn't eat anymore.
Speaker 2: Right again, I want to go back to the boiled chicken,
Speaker 2: because how do we get on boil chicken?
Speaker 6: I was saying, it's like, have you smelled boiled chicken?
Speaker 2: It's like that testline smell, like when you cook.
Speaker 6: Well, it had that pungent smell.
Speaker 4: So do they boil the testines?
Speaker 6: They boil it?
Speaker 4: Okay, if we can't.
Speaker 2: If I can't deal with like corned beef and cabbage,
Speaker 2: I can't imagine it would be like testines.
Speaker 5: Well, well, how about one day we will do this.
Speaker 4: Day oil. I'm not doing it.
