It is nice to spend Christmas outside home once in a while. This year, I was in snowy Calgary- it was so cold and we could barely go outdoors. What a contrast from your warm Christmas in New Zealand!

I live in Auckland and think we stayed in or near Omapere last time we drove around the top of the island. (although I had to look it up on the map). I do agree, it feels funny to have Christmas in summer, but I am used to it now. Plus, I am not a fan of being in snow even though I enjoy the images. I hope you also enjoyed the same fabulous weather we had from Christmas to New Years.

Happy new year! I’m from Australia, so I’m quite used to a warm summer Christmas day, but in pursuit of that white Christmas experience you see in the movies, I’ve spent many holidays traveling, away from home, and I agree, it’s a very difficult time to be away from family, but I find that with the amazing technology we have these days it’s easy to stay connected, and video call in – my dad streams his iPad to the TV and puts me on the living room screen while everyone opens presents. Sometimes it means having to be up at 3am with the time difference – but sacrifices for family right!

Hope you had a wonderful Christmas this year 🙂

Hope you had a great Christmas on the Beach in Omapara and also had a rocking start to 2018. Wishing you the best of travels in 2018. Of course, Christmas away from home does give a wee tug at the heart, but I am sure the pleasures of travel and discovering new experiences balance that out.

Your Christmas is so well spent! I love the idea of exploring different parts of the globe and see Christmas in different lights. Your dress is so pretty by the way!
