The table was beautifully laid out and ready to go. Adults were served champagne. A couple ordered apple cider. As the co host we were early to welcome the guest. The buffet looked so inviting I had to start before all the guests arrived. Snacked on steamed buns and fruit eg bananas to stop the tummy rumbles. Having gone for swim and cycle before to prepare for the large lunch to be consumed. This also helped to clear my jet lagged brain. Having flown back at 1230 am Sunday morning - morning of the lunch. Attended HH's work christmas party in Conduit road in Midlevels on Friday night.
As guest arrived we had to walk up to reception to bring them to the table as there was a long queue of other people waiting to come in via the entrance. Once every one arrived we attacked the buffet with gusto. Some went for the curries and roasts. I started with the salads and salmon. Also had sushi but missed the sashimi salmon from previous years. There was BBQ pork and noodles for Asian food aficianados. The desserts were tempting and we had the cakes and petit fors. We had coffee and tea afterwards. Kids had carafes of coca cola or lemon squash. My boss then gave away hampers to all the adults. Each hamper was $100 and everyone was really happy and full afterwards. It was a great Xmas atmosphere and many other patrons were dressed in a christmassy way for the occasion. My boss paid for the whole function which came in just under $1k. We got a lot of thank you emails especially from the ladies who received the hampers.
