Merry Christmas 2018
Our first Christmas in New Zealand. We decided to go all out and visit our local Christmas tree farm up in the Kaimai Ranges and pick our very own kiwi Christmas tree!
The weather was against us but even the torrential rains could not dampen our spirits and we got to choose from a field of three year old trees. The farm replaces any pines cut down and replant new trees, which again are ready for Christmas in a couple of years. They even take your old tree back after Christmas to re-mulch the ground.
We added a few op shop second hand ornaments and lights and voila, all ready for our first Christmas here in New Zealand!Ā Merry Christmas for 2018, we hope you all have a fantastic festive season!

Good for you young and healthy people, lol. No really, that’s cool, I was too lazy to even get one of those little trees already in the stand they have at the Pick ‘n’ Save. I did nab a poinsettia though. I love your Christmas photo, you should turn it into a card for your blogger pals so we can put it on the side of our blogs. A sort of cyber Christmas card space.
P.S. I thought your Ho Ho Ho glasses said “Hooters.”

Last time I read one of your blog posts you were in Spain. I wonder what prompted the move to New Zealand. Hope you have a lovely Christmas. I imagine you’ll be putting a shrimp on the bbbq right? #MySundayPhoto
