christmas week

yayyyy its christmas week! im working christmas eve and boxing day (what they call dec 26th overseas) but the restaruant is closed on christmas day so i will have time to enjoy the holiday. i plan to hang out at the telecom tree which is a gigantic "tree" made of lights that you can sit in and around in big comfy bean bag chairs they always have there! its right next to the harbour as well. i hope to get my special christmas package from mom by christmas as well so i can hang up my stocking that she sent :) NZ post is a little crazy though so Im going to try to track it down this week! on christmas day here i will be calling home (christmas eve there) to talk to mom, julie, grace and (hopefully) jonah. i am sad to be missing my neice and nephews christmas but hopefully I will be able to spend many christmass in the future with them and the rest of the family. in the meantime I will enjoy the warm summer christmas weather!
