One of the great things of living in NZ or Australia is thatwe get to celebrate Christmas in Summer. This means we usually have Christmas on a warm sunny day and a long bright night. No snow, no eggnogand no opening presents by a warm roaring fire. Its more like Christmas lunchoutside in the sun, an afternoon swim at the beach and enjoying a few coldcocktails.
Every year by the time it’s Labour Weekend and then Cup weekhere in Christchurch it seems that Christmas comes around faster and faster everytime. We recently had everyone around to put up our Christmas tree at mumssmack bang on the 1st of December. It is always a fun day listeningto Christmas music and enjoying a few laughs and bottles of wine.
The beginning of December also indicates the start of theextremely important Christmas movie season. Started back in Sydney when we werein school and has somehow continued. Doesn’t seem to matter that we watch thesame movies each year but I do look forward to them.
The list each year includes
- - The Santa Clause
- - The Holiday
- - Love Actually
- - Home Alone
- - National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation
It seems that even though we get to enjoy a warm Christmasour movies are the only way we can enjoy the wonders of a white Christmas.
I feel like each year I appreciate my family even morearound Christmas time. We may not beperfect but there is no better time to enjoy your loved ones.
I am especially excited for this years Christmas as it is the first one (hopefully of many) that Thomas and I will be spending together. I know he will be disappointed he wont be able to see his family but hopefullyhe enjoys our silly traditions.
Here is hoping the weather behaves and gives us some glorious sunshine. I cant tell you how much im looking forward to the end of the year and my new years trip to Lake Hawea with some of my closest friends. Will be amazing to get out of town and enjoy one of my favourite spots where we used to spend countless Christmas's as kids.
I will make sure i share my adventures with you all.
