Look out for members of Campbelltown Lions Club if you head out to Bunnings on Blaxland Road between now and Christmas.
They will be there between Tuesday and Friday selling their delicious Christmas cakes and puddings, so go up and say hello.
And buy a Christmas cake, too, because if you have had them before you know how good they are.
The 1.5kg Christmas cake is just $19, while the 1kg one is going for $15.
The Christmas puddings, which weigh 900 grams, are selling for $15.
The friendly Lions people on duty at Bunnings will have EFTPOS facilities available.
It’s also good to know that Lions make sure all proceeds from the sale off their Christmas cakes go back into the community.

Staying with the festive theme, Wollondilly mayor Matt Gould has launched an appeal to help support residents doing it tough down south of Macarthur.
The Mayor’s Giving Tree Christmas Appeal is seeking unwrapped gifts for children between 0-12 years old or non-perishable food items at one of the designated delivery points (see below).
“This has been a difficult year for many Wollondilly residents due to unprecedented storm events, personal tragedy, and financial stress,” the mayor said.
“The spirit of Christmas is about kindness, family, generosity and sharing and as we know, the Wollondilly community does this so well.”
Donations can be made at the council administration building in Picton, the Warragamba Silverdale Neighbourhood Centre, Community Links Wollondilly at Tahmoor, the Dilly Wanderer or the Mobile Library. The appeal is unable to accept used, second-hand or wrapped gifts.
