When it comes too organising your annual Christmas lunch in Brisbane do you:

A) Send out hand written cards with personalised poems to all of your family and friends complete with Dr. Seuss worthy rhyming schemes, ribbons and a home-made batch of cookies (you make us sick).
B) Whip together a quick Facebook event page prominently featuring a picture from last year’s event to gently remind Aunty Shirley that what happens at Christmas Lunch, doesn’t necessarily stay at Christmas lunch.
C) Christmas? Isn’t it still June?

So you’ve been left in charge of choosing the venue for this year’s Christmas event. Do you:

A) Spend a month researching all of the best Christmas lunch venues Brisbane has to offer and award points based on style, versatility and proximity to the city – stop it, you’re making us feel bad.
B) Do a quick Google search to ensure you’re the optimal distance to the nearest dancefloor but as far away from ex’s house as possible – because holidays + wine + mobile = a very awkward Christmas card to write.
C) Much like how you picked your degree, your last holiday and your partner, you just grabbed the first thing that looked good and hope for the best.

 Of all the Christmas carols, you:

A) Religiously attend the local production of “The Nutcracker” every year and amuse yourself by whistling the full version of “Dance of Sugarplum Fairies” while you busy yourself wrapping Christmas presents
B) Are a sucker for a jaunty little classic re-imagined with a jazzy beat. Whether it’s Bublé or Sinatra, Christmas is a pretty groovy time of year when you’ve got the soundtrack to match.
C) Jingle Bells, Batman smells, Robin laid an egg…

When it comes to wrapping presents for your Christmas lunch gift exchange, you:

A) You’ve studied your copy of Vogue living cover to cover and managed to nail the perfect Christmas motif with a stylish homage to Australian native flowers, complete with a sprig of wild thyme to add that little ‘je ne sais quoi’.
B) You’ve left your wrapping to the last minute and all you’ve got at your disposal is some novelty Justin Bieber paper you bought for your niece’s birthday – Uncle Mark likes Justin Bieber right?
C ) ‘Quick, pass me the alfoil.’

How do you nail the perfect Christmas lunch outfit?:

A)Ever the organised one, you’ve not only landed the perfect outfit, but found a subtle matching tie for your partner, booked your hair appointment four months in advance and have been hitting the gym four times a week to ensure optimum photo-readiness. – Remind us to stop inviting you to these things, you’re killing us.
B)You bought an outfit this time last year in an attempt to encourage yourself to hit the gym more and be summer ready, but that was before that big merger at work that involved lots of late night pizza runs, and your break up and season 6 of Game of Thrones and before you know it you’re frantically running around the local shops looking for the last pair of Spanx in the southern hemisphere, and tossing up whether it’s easier to just roll duct tape around your thighs for the same effect – heck you were probably due for a leg wax anyway.
C)After last year’s button popping disaster, you’ve managed to find the perfect balance between flattering and stretchy – track pants.

Now let’s tabulate your results

Mostly A’s  – It’s not that we hate you, we’re just really tired of you making us look bad by association. You’re the Christmas lunch guru, from the spring in your step to your extra bouncy hair, your holiday planning skills are so on point it’s positively dangerous.

Mostly B’s – Ah, sweet, sweet sanity! You’ve logged enough hours with the family to know that pulling off the perfect Christmas is more about quality than quantity, but it won’t stop you from being just a wee bit disappointed that after all of your best intentions, your cousin Benjamin still re-gifted you the alarm clock you got him last year – in the same wrapping paper no-less.

Mostly C’s – You are our spirit animal. That’s not a compliment.

It doesn’t matter whether you’re a type A, B or C, when it comes to locking in the perfect Christmas lunch, Brisbane’s most versatile function venue is right here at The Fox Hotel.
