    1. The sweaty-arse Santa Claus.

    Sam Leighton-Dore

    For when it's not even 9am yet and it's already hot AF.

    2. The coffee plunger.

    Sam Leighton-Dore

    For when the Christmas morning buzz wears off and you realise that all the cafes are closed.

    3. The Christmas gumtree branch.

    Sam Leighton-Dore

    For when you want to keep it natural, but can't afford an actual Christmas tree (who really has a spare $65 in December?).

    4. A statue of "little baby cheeses".

    Sam Leighton-Dore

    Because, honestly, who hasn't misheard "statue of little baby Jesus" for "statue of little baby cheeses"?

    5. The awkwardly obvious Christmas stocking.

    Sam Leighton-Dore

    For when it's time to show off your not-so-subtle last-minute gift-wrapping skills.

    6. The new undies.

    Sam Leighton-Dore

    Because it wouldn't be Christmas without receiving a new pair of fluro knickers.

    7. The receipt.

    Sam Leighton-Dore

    For when you're ready to return your new undies for store credit at the Boxing Day Sales.

    8. The white plastic chair.

    Sam Leighton-Dore

    Because it's just not an awkward Aussie family gathering without unstacking some of these bad boys.

    9. The esky.

    Sam Leighton-Dore

    For when you need to accommodate the whole family.

    10. The BBQ disaster.

    Sam Leighton-Dore

    For when your uncle really needs to christen his new BBQ and the turkey turns out dry-as-a-bone but everyone says it's absolutely perfect.

    11. The "crack it open".

    Sam Leighton-Dore

    Because a cracker and a can of VB mean Christmas.

    12. The Christmas pavlova.

    Sam Leighton-Dore

    Because smashing some pav should be considered a national pastime.

    13. The drunk auntie.

    Sam Leighton-Dore

    Because we all seem to have one.

    14. The candy cane weapon.

    Sam Leighton-Dore

    For when the family time gets a bit much.

    15. And the beach sunset.

    Sam Leighton-Dore

    Because despite the gross heat, dirty beers, and dodgy relatives, we're pretty damn lucky to enjoy our Christmas in a postcard paradise.
