Christmas Post - Bring a Plate

A lot of Aussie Christmas traditions involve bringing a plate. Whether its the annual Playgroup Christmas lunch, the kid's class end of year party, family get together or a office wind up, its easier to get everyone to bring a plate than to rely on one person to organise everything or asking everyone to pitch in to pay for catering. So as part of this series I'm going to list and link my favourite "bring a plate" finger foods to help prompt you when you get one of those inevitable memos to organise some nibbles.
