Christmas Panettone Already Re-Gifted 2 More Times Since New Years Eve Dinner Party

The Panettone that you were gifted in Christmas has reportedly changed hands three-times since, it can be confirmed.

This comes as Australians do their best to empty their fridges and pantries of all of the left-overs and sweets that desecrated our waistlines over the last month.

As the nation stumbles back into work after the summer break, Australians are struggling with the notion that the party has to stop at some point.

As is often the case in January, many of us have decided that the Australian Silly Season should be pushed out to ANZAC Day - which is the last long weekend before Winter begins.

So with still a couple of months left until Australians are expected to focus on work - the dinner parties and Sunday sessions remain in full swing.

But with Christmas well behind us, what does one bring to a low-key drinks in January.

The answer is, the traditional Italian sweetbread that Australians all seem to be given as a present every late December.

The panettone is known as one of the only non-perishable cakes available for purchase on supermarket shelves, but is only available in the weeks leading up to Christmas.

And with homemade rum and raisin cakes taking priority over the festive season, it is very rare that this boxed cake ever sees the light of day before it is re-gifted.

Usually offloaded to the friends who put their hands up to host New Years Eve drinks, the panettone would have already been re-gifted twice since then.

However, it is generally acknowledged that January is the last month where it would be acceptable to re-gift a 'Christmas cake' - making it the number one most recieved birthday present for Capricorns.
