Handpicked Unique & Affordable Foodie Treats in Melbourne, Australia.
When it comes to unique treats in the city regarded as the food capital of Australia (and highly likely up there in the world feast stakes); affordability is relative. To some in these current times, I appreciate that a cup of coffee is now beyond what is considered to be a luxury. To me personally, these are treats; and if these so called treats were everyday occurrences, the concept of a treat would be quickly diminished, as well as (almost quite literally) breaking the bank.

A symbol of joy at the end of the year
Christmas Trees Christmas trees are one of the most common symbols of the holiday season. Traditionally a family would go cut down their own and decorate it on Christmas Eve. For some families this is still a tradition that they carry out. Others that want a real tree just buy one from a lot. They seem to crop up everywhere in the weeks before Christmas. Live Christmas trees are evergreens, and they smell wonderful. They do take up plenty of time to care for though as they can dry out. This is why many people opt for a fake Christmas tree.

Food for Memories
My grandmother, Mawmaw, was a key cook in all of my family’s holiday meals. 2024 marked the second Thanksgiving and Christmas without her, and today is the second New Year’s. She made the holidays so special just by being herself, so enthused and happy to celebrate and be with all her babies, grand-babies, and great grand-babies. However, her food always sweetened the celebrations—often literally through her cakes, pies, custards, and more.

Christmas Wish
An unexpected gift from a secret Santa had arrived. It’s time to spread your wings and fly. Oh what a joy to be free. With joy in our hearts, we’ll chase the dreams that thrive. Santa can you hear me, I have only one wish this year. This is our Christmas wish for the first time. It’s Christmas time in the city. There was magic and love in the air. And it’s magic time to forget all the other years of our love and in our lives. Every laughter dances like light. Oh what a dream about this Christmas we share and we need each other. We can make it real with the ones we love so much. So bring your fancy gifts and bring your Christmas tree. Santa will bring a bag of new toys. Hey Santa could you bring me something nice, sweet, and happy? And there will be happiness for every man boy and girl. When we are chasing old Christmas gifts with the sweetness of our lives. We are going to celebrate with all our friends and family. My dear one christmas day I thank the good old Santa Claus that I can only have. But hurry up and carry me you know it's you and me and trying to make me. Waiting for Santa to arrive and you better not pout because I am telling you why. When we wake up in the morning all you hear is bells ringing. And we will be okay for Christmas Day to meet you at your door. And they’ll have a happy new year oh what a lucky night. I hope this year would be good for you and me and for always. Together they’ll shine bright, creating our own reality. Oh what a shame if you can't find the good without the brand new pain in the world of chaos. Hand to hand, we’ll laugh through each stormy endeavor. Lord I pray that someday you’ll be home and we’ll be home for Christmas. Cause the snow begins to fall in love and the light will be shining down on christmas. And we’ll take our chances making merry work for weeks.Make it a holiday for the rest of our lives. Yes merry Christmas and we will be glad we got there with the rest of our lives. And we will celebrate the day when all the things we have will stay with us. Now they say Santa is going to take us to a place where we could rest forever. But we will some will let it keep us warm in peace. Unfortunately, this year Christmas doesn’t feel quite like Christmas. I miss that holiday cheer with that uplifting spirit. Grief is awful but at Christmas time it feels 100x worse. I know I am not the only one grieving just now. , heart goes out to anyone missing a loved one this year. Remember not everyone is going to be holly jolly all season. People are grieving, financially stressed, burnt out, doing the best they can. Holidays are a tough time of year for a lot of folks and you never know what someone else is going through. And we will do what doesn't kill us makes us stronger. No matter what the weather. I'll take this for what it's worth even if it hurts. Just as long as I could give you what you say you deserve. Let there be a joyous rebirth. When the time is right, I know I will see the light next year. There will be peace in the valley for me one day. Let there be a guidance I could draw near. “All I want for Christmas is a clear mind, laughter with friends, a happy home, a healthy family, sunshine in abundance, adventures that lift the spirit, memories with my nearest and dearest, and a guiding light for those in need.” -Alysha Waghorn.
