So, all your friends have deserted you to return home to family and fridges that actually have food in them, while your relatives are just too far away or just too plain horrible to spend the day with. It's Christmas Day in Sydney and you're all alone, but that isn't necessarily a bad thing. This could be where your fun begins.
