MERRY CHRISTMAS FROM NEW ZEALAND!!! I hope everyone is having a brilliant December. I have not written in a long while because I have been busy working----trust me, this is a very good thing. I am liking my job at Element, there is the usual gossip that comes with all jobs and some co-workers get on my nerves, but overall I have a good time at work and get free beer at the end of each shift 😊 It is strange to me that it is Christmas because I have not been bombarded by all of the usual commericalism that surrounds the season. Very few places here decorate for the season and seeing as I rarely watch TV I haven't been seeing as much of Christmas as I am used to. Another oddity of having Christmas in the southern hemisphere is the warm weather, not that it has been incredibly hot in Christchurch (today was actually the first nice day all week), but it is not cold and I can walk outside without a coat on . . . it's just a bit odd. For Christmas day I am working in the morning and then going to a BBQ that the hostel where I am staying is putting on. It should be fun, but it will be different to have Christmas away from family and friends. Well, that is all for now. Not the most exciting entry I know, but other than working I haven't been up to much. I am hoping to post more often cause I notice the more I post the more responses I recieve and messages always make me happy (hint hint nudge nudge wink wink). Love and miss you all!

Happy Holidays
Thinking of you Lisa. Its hot here too, near 60 degrees. It seems odd. No snow for skiing. Albuquerque is setting a world's record tonight for luminarias. We're lighting 3 million all over town. It is so lovely. The park that is 1 block away will be covered. We all decorate our walkways and walls with luminarias. Elliott will be with his Dad tonight. Brian and family are in Colorado. I will be solo, yet have 2 parties to attend. Love you dear! Pamela
