Christmas is finally on the horizon

O Christmas Tree, O Christmas Tree...

December at last! The 1st Dec is traditionally the date in our family when we put up our Christmas tree, normally accompanied with the beginning of singing to Christmas CDs. While I inherited the Flat Christmas Tree and decorations, alas, in 2006 it will not be happening for me as I simply have no room in my unit.

But tis the Christmas season, and we had our first carol service yesterday. Christmas is on it's way!!

Matt, Liz, Talia and Daniel made it back to Wellington yesterday following their loop de loop of the South Island and this afternoon we traverse across the North Island to get to Hastings for our Smith Christmas.

And to make the day even greater, the weather is actually making it look like summer has arrived after all! The sun is out and there's barely a breeze in the air! :)
