It’s that time of the year again: the annual Nagi-Dozer Christmas Selfie (Fail!). Intentions were better than usual. Execution was about the same. Take a peek in my camera roll!
Annual Christmas Selfie (fail) 2022
Every year I swear to myself that this is the year I’m going to plan and take a FABULOUS Christmas photo of Dozer and myself to share with you.
There was chatter about it. Ideas were thrown around. Scouted around online for Dozer Christmas outfits. There was even talk about sneaking Dozer into the shopping centre to use the Santa set!
Then here we are on Christmas Eve, and as I have every other year, I’ve found myself in a fluster, stuck for ideas for a creative, fun photo. So as I do every year, I just grabbed my iPhone, grabbed Dozer, used some chicken as bait and started snapping away.
Here’s what went down!
A peek in my camera roll
Challenge #1: sleepy model. 2 hours at the beach will do that to you.
Solution attempt: I’ll lie down next to him! Except…. not so Christmas cheery with a dozing Dozer beside me….
Getting hot and sunny outside – let’s try it indoors. Except…. model is feeling slothy. Let me try to heave him up for the shot…….
Mmmm nope. Not happening, just looks like exactly what’s happening – me trying to haul up a 40kg dog!! Try again…..
Oomph. He’s too heavy! I can’t.
Starting to get frustrated…….
….wondering if all I’ll have to share with you is his hat peeking out from behind the kitchen bench…..
…….or maybe some excellent snaps of one of his best features:
Then at last! With the help of a little chicken, he finally popped up just as the timer went off!
YAY – an acceptable photo to say MERRY CHRISTMAS! Wishing you happy holidays filled with delicious food!
I’ll be taking some time out for the next few days but I will be back after Christmas to share something special to ring in the new year. Any urgent recipe questions, please leave them on the recipe in the comments section as I will check in occasionally.
Merry Christmas!!!
Lots of love,
Nagi & Dozer x
Made the mini cheesecakes, turned out perfect. As there are only 2 of us will they be OK to freeze.
GORGEOUS photos 😃
Merry Christmas Nagi🎄
Hope you and Dozer have a wonderful day with your loved ones!
Merry Christmas from Nelson, British Columbia Canada! While you are frolicking at the beach with Dozer, we are enjoying? Minus 15 to minus 20 (or worse) degree Celsius weather with LOTS! of snow! Happy New Year as well.
You.are.THE.best.

Merry Xmas to Nagi and Dozer, may 2023 be a great year for you. I just love your recipes and your book. Love from the Sunshine Coast, Qld.
Hi Nagi..Everytime I get an e-mail from you and Dozer it makes me smile. It looks like Love. Thank you so, so much for everything. xoxo
Nagi you’re an ABSOLUTE SCREAM and as for Dozer, well he’d have to be the MOST placid, docile dog I’ve ever seen to put up with ALL the shenanigans you get up to together. He’s also the MOST ADORABLE dog and the most fun to be with dog around.
By the way I saw you do your stint on the telly the other week and meant to congratulate you, but I got sidelined into doing busy things for charities with our local Lions Club. Sorry!
Keep those gorgeous recipes coming our way.
Wishing you, Dozer and all your family the VERY BEST for Christmas and a VERY PROSPEROUS New Year in 2023.
Luv ya! X X X & Dozer X X X
Happy New Year to you and Dozer. You guys always make me laugh. And your recipes are amazing too.
All the hard work and effort you put into it will pay off big time! ♥️♥️♥️
Have a wonderful and merry Christmas, I hope 2023 is a great year for you and Dozer
You two just keep looking better and younger! Thanks for all the inspiration and fun over 2022! Merry Christmas and Happy New Year
Love Dozers nostrils. You both make me laugh. Merry Christmas! Looking forward to more yummy recipes.
