My best Christmas memory was in South Vietnam 1970. My mum had sent over a home made Christmas fruit cake. It was in a tin inside a pillow slip filled with Australian gum leaves . It took me a while to figure out about the gum leaves . So outside my tent i created a small fire , throwing the gum leaves on bit by bit .Well as the smoke & smell of the burning gum leaves wafted threw the lines , i had about 60 Diggers come around all attracted by the smell of the burning gum leaves. It brought home to us all a little piece of Australia on Christmas day. It's a memory that will stay with me forever.

My best Christmas ever was in York (England) walking through the narrow cobblestone street brightly lit by Christmas lights hand in hand with a woman with which I'd fallen hopelessly in love. She made that Christmas one I'll never forget.
