Maybe you ought to go away at Xmas, when I was in Perth in August we went to Margaret river which was just lovely and probably alot cooler than Perth at Xmas. Just a suggestion!

Why don't the two of you pack a nice Christmas lunch and head to the beach as well. You will probably meet plenty of people that day who may well become friends, and you will always remember where and when you met them. Also, be glad you and your wife have each other. Some people aren't even fortunate enough to have someone they love with them on that day.

We are arriving on 2nd Jan so can't help out but I know that one year my brother and his mates went to Kings Park and had food delivered sounded like they had great day

You can go to our rellies in place of us!!!!

A lot of people head to the beach, we have some friends who don't have kids and that's what they do, croissants n' stuff for brekkie on the beach then back to a different beach mid afternoon for a barbie.

I think going away sounds like a nice idea though.

Enjoy
Diane

The cafe in Kings Park has a set Christmas day breakfast and lunch menu, I think the lunch is about $126 per person, depending on where you are in West Perth, this could be walking distance for you. This might sound expensive but have you seen the price of turkey. It might be easier to mix in this setting than on a beach, I don't know. I guess it would depend on what kind of atmosphere is generated by the place.
