Kylie Minogue - Minogue Plans Festive Barbecue

KYLIE MINOGUE is looking forward to Christmas in her native Australia - because she can't wait to slap on the sun cream and enjoy a festive barbecue.

The Aussie singer will be spending the holiday season with her family Down Under, and she admits she is looking forward to a sun-soaked Christmas.

She tells Britain's Hello! magazine, "I'll be spending Christmas with as many family as we can gather in one place. Because I live so far away, time with my family in Australia is precious. In Australia, we always have a barbecue with lots of fresh seafood. Everyone pitches in in the kitchen for a big lunch. As for presents, we all gather round the tree and the gifts are handed out. The dog always has the best time with all the wrapping."
