A Christmas message from your Mayor

C

hristmas and New Year is a time we all look forward to on our beautiful Sunshine Coast.

For many of us, there’s the chance to catch up and celebrate with family and friends while everyone in our tourism sector prepares to host the tens of thousands of visitors we welcome from around Queensland, interstate and overseas.

Each year, the Sunshine Coast Council is proud to support a wide range of Christmas and New Year events which reflect the lifestyle, cultural values and diversity of our Coast community.

This year there is extra special significance as the memorable festivities commemorating our 50th Anniversary of the Naming of the Sunshine Coast culminate in an extravaganza.

Our anniversary year has been a wonderful success, showing how we have progressed as a region, and I’m sure you will enjoy the big finale we have planned.

There’s a packed program of family-friendly events and activities across our region.

Once again, council has partnered with My Weekly Preview to bring all the event information to you in this special liftout.

There are many highlights to look forward to, including: • Community Christmas trees and lighting in 20 locations – try to see them all; • Community carols and Christmas-themed events along the coast and into the hinterland; • The spectacular, family-friendly New Year’s Eve celebrations at Mooloolaba, Coolum and Caloundra.

To our residents, I encourage you to share the spirit of the season by catching up with your neighbours, making new friends and being a great ambassador for our visitors.

If you’re holidaying here, you’ve made a fantastic choice!

Thanks for being a part of our Christmas and New Year celebrations.

Please stay safe over the holiday period, keep cool, look out for each other and have fun in Australia’s healthy, smart, creative region.

Cr Mark Jamieson Mayor

CAROLS

CHRISTMAS CAROLS There’s nothing like singing Christmas carols to get you into the spirit of the season. Here are some of our favourites for those carol nights on the Coast.

LITTLE DRUMMER BOY Come they told me, pa rum pum pum pum A new born King to see, pa rum pum pum pum Our finest gifts we bring, pa rum pum pum pum To lay before the King, pa rum pum pum pum rum pum pum pum, rum pum pum pum So to honour Him, pa rum pum pum pum When we come.

Little Baby, pa rum pum pum pum I am a poor boy too, pa rum pum pum pum I have no gift to bring, pa rum pum pum pum That’s fit to give the King, pa rum pum pum pum rum pum pum pum, rum pum pum pum Shall I play for you, pa rum pum pum pum On my drum?

Mary nodded, pa rum pum pum pum The ox and lamb kept time, pa rum pum pum pum I played my drum for Him, pa rum pum pum pum I played my best for Him, pa rum pum pum pum rum pum pum pum, rum pum pum pum Then He smiled at me, pa rum pum pum pum Me and my drum.

SANTA CLAUS IS COMING TO TOWN You better watch out You better not cry You better not pout I’m telling you why Santa Claus is coming to town.

He’s making a list And checking it twice He’s gonna find out Who’s naughty or nice Santa Claus is coming to town.

He sees you when you’re sleeping He knows when you’re awake He knows if you’ve been bad or good So be good for goodness sake.

You better watch out You better not cry You better not pout I’m telling you why Santa Claus is coming to town.

He sees you when you’re sleeping He knows when you’re awake He knows if you’ve been bad or good So be good for goodness sakes!

DECK THE HALLS Deck the halls with boughs of holly, Fa la la la la la la la la ‘Tis the season to be jolly, Fa la la la la la la la la Don we now our gay apparel, Fa la la la la la la la la Troll the ancient Yuletide carol, Fa la la la la la la la la.

See the blazing yule before us Fa la la la la la la la la Strike the harp and join the chorus Fa la la la la la la la la Follow me in merry measure Fa la la la la la la la la While I tell a Yule-tide treasure Fa la la la la la la la la Fast away the old year passes, Fa la la la la la la la la Hail the new, ye lads and lasses, Fa la la la la la la la la Sing we joyous all together, Fa la la la la la la la la Heedless of the wind and weather, Fa la la la la la la la la.

RUDOLPH THE REDNOSED REINDEER Rudolph the red-nosed reindeer had a very shiny nose.

And, if you ever saw it you would even say it glowed.

All of the other reindeer used to laugh and call him names.

They never let poor Rudolph join in any reindeer games.

Then one foggy Christmas Eve, Santa came to say: “Rudolph with your nose so bright, won’t you guide my sleigh tonight?”

Then all the reindeer loved him as they shouted out with glee: “Rudolph the red-nosed reindeer, you’ll go down in history.”

CAROLS AWAY IN A MANGER Away in a manger, no crib for a bed, the little Lord Jesus laid down his sweet head.

The stars in the bright sky looked down where he lay, the little Lord Jesus asleep on the hay.

The cattle are lowing, the baby awakes, but little Lord Jesus no crying he makes.

I love you, Lord Jesus; look down from the sky, and stay by my side until morning is nigh.

Be near me, Lord Jesus, I ask you to stay close by me forever, and love me, I pray.

Bless all the dear children in your tender care, and take us to heaven to live with you there.

JINGLE BELLS Dashing through the snow in a one-horse open sleigh, Through the fields we go laughing all the way.

Bells on bob-tail ring, making spirits bright What fun it is to ride and sing a sleighing song tonight.

Chorus: Jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle all the way.

Oh what fun it is to ride in a one-horse open sleigh, oh.

Jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle all the way.

Oh what fun it is to ride in a one-horse open sleigh.

JOY TO THE WORLD!

OH CHRISTMAS TREE

Joy to the world! The Lord is come: let earth receive her King, let every heart prepare him room and heaven and nature sing.

Oh Christmas tree, oh Christmas tree thy leaves are so unchanging, Oh Christmas tree, oh Christmas tree, thy leaves are so unchanging.

Joy to the earth! the Saviour reigns: let men their songs employ while fields and floods, rocks, hills and plains repeat the sounding joy.

Not only green when summer’s here, but also when it’s cold and drear.

Oh Christmas tree, oh Christmas tree, thy leaves are so unchanging.

No more let sins and sorrows grow nor thorns infest the ground, He comes to make his blessings flow far as the curse is found.

Oh Christmas tree, oh Christmas tree, such pleasure do you bring me.

Oh Christmas tree, oh Christmas tree, such pleasure do you bring me.

He rules the earth with truth and grace and makes the nations prove, the glories of his righteousness and wonders of his love.

For every year this Christmas tree, brings to us such joy and glee.

Oh Christmas tree, oh Christmas tree, such pleasure do you bring me.

Check out what’s happening on the Coast these holidays.

FINDING DORY AND FRIENDS: THE EXPERIENCE Dive in this summer and explore the all new interactive zone at Sea Life Sunshine Coast, Finding Dory and Friends: The Experience.

Created with Disney Pixar, the new experience features interactive magical moments from the Box Office smash hit, Finding Dory.

“We are extremely excited to open this new and interactive, state-of-theart exhibit on the Sunshine Coast,” Sea Life Sunshine Coast’s Regional general manager Quinn Clarke says.

“This immersive experience will allow visitors to actively participate in Dory’s journey as they venture across

the ocean to learn all about the amazing underwater world.”

Throughout the interactive journey at Sea Life Sunshine Coast, a Pipe Pals trail will guide and surprise with tales of amazing underwater animals, leading guests into Dory’s Reef.

Experience fun activities including, Ridin’ the EAC with Crush, Nemo’s Anemone Challenge and using your own echo locator in Bailey’s Maze.

Visitors can then challenge their friends and family to see who can reach immunity the quickest in Nemo’s Anemone Race, racing through the anemone and building resistance, just like clownfish in the wild.

COMEDY IS NO CHORE FOR THESE CLOWNS Inspired by slapstick legends Buster Keaton and Charlie Chaplin, the side-splitting duo of Chores is coming to the Sunshine Coast Council’s Lake Kawana Community Centre during the school holidays for two shows only on

January 17, 2018.

Chores is a hilarious and actionpacked show about two excitable brothers playing in their messy bedroom.

A generous serve of comedy and chaotic acrobatics accompanies every attempt at cleaning their room and doing their chores.

This mess of chaos and comedy concludes with a last-minute cleaning spree.

Mum is kept at bay and the rewards come flooding in.

With highlights of skilled circus stunts and uproarious, interactive gags, and with little spoken dialogue, the audience will find themselves on the edge of their seats and giggling until the chores are done.

Chores is brought to you by Patrick Heilmann and Julian Roberts, the performers from The Leaping Loonies

Come and join us for the start of the annual Festival of Lights in Downtown Caloundra!

Welcome Santa as he arrives in Caloundra in a convoy of classic cars and bikes on Saturday 2 December! Visit the opening of Santa’s workshop and receive a free digital photo with Santa with festive kids’ activities from 11am - 2pm.

Nothing says Christmas like prawns. The question on most people’s lips is how many to buy?

If prawns are not the main item being served for Christmas lunch or dinner, then 250g per person is a good guideline to follow. When it comes to buying seafood for the holidays, there are a few important things to keep in mind.

For starters, you need to know how to buy the right products.

Only select seafood that looks shiny and moist; prawns should have a glossy appearance and oysters should look plump.

Secondly, learn how to correctly store seafood. It’s summer, which means hot days and balmy nights. Domestic fridges run at around 4°C, but at this time of year – with the fridge overstocked with food – they usually operate at a warmer temperature, which is not good for storing seafood. The best way to store large quantities of seafood is to keep it in an esky between two layers of ice. Always store cooked and raw seafood in separate bags.

TIP – Sprinkle a handful of salt over an iceblock to harden the ice.

FESTIVE FOOD HOW TO GLAZE A HAM

HOW TO FRENCH A LAMB RACK

Steve of Fresh Meats Wises Road shares a simple and delicious way of preparing an unforgettable ham.

Preparing your lamb rack shouldn’t be a daunting task.

Shane of Fresh Meats Wises Road shares his tips on how to enjoy the process and learn something new along the way.

Ingredients • Whole leg ham (8-10 kg) • ½ cup orange juice • ½ cup raw sugar • 5ml bourbon • Cloves Method 1. Preheat oven to 160°C. 2. Cut the rind below the hock and peel off the rind.

3. With the tip of your knife, lightly score the fat to make small squares 4. Centre a clove in each square and place ham in baking tray.

5. In a saucepan, add bourbon, orange juice and raw sugar. Simmer until sugar dissolves.

6. With a pastry brush, generously apply glaze evenly across the fat.

7. Bake at 160°C for three-and-a-half hours, rebrushing with glaze every half an hour.

8. Remove cloves before carving.

Step 1: Selection Your lamb rack should look full and plump with plenty of meat to fat and bone ratio. The fat should be a nice white to slightly cream colour. The rack will usually span between seven and eight ribs.

Step 2: Scoring Place the rack fat side up with ribs running horizontally.

Start at the top of your rack and cut down across the ribs in one long continuous line to the bottom. Keep your knife as close to the bone as possible and begin peeling the meat back off the bone using a sharp knife.

Step 3: Trimming Carefully work your way from one end of the rack to the other, with the rib bones facing up. Keeping the edge of your blade against the bone at all times, carefully cut the intercostal meat from between the ribs, leaving only the bones exposed. Once all the meat has been cut out, gently scrape each bone to remove any residue.
