Feeling Festive?

UPDATE: The video has now been uploaded! For some reason You Tube are giving me grief with the quality of video. It's not fantastic quality sadly but hopefully you can see beyond that - and to the fun in the sun!!


It's November, it's hot and it's the Santa Parade!

We keep talking about how Christmas comes round earlier each year, here in NZ it's sooner than we can ever get used to. Having to prepare and send all our Christmas gifts to the UK early November to guarantee arrival is complete madness. I was wrapping Christmas pressies before I even had my birthday in October!

Last year the Santa Parade rocked Wellington, the parade is literally one of the best we have ever seen. This year it was even better. With over 60,000 people lining the streets of downtown Wellington we were guaranteed a stunning time. The Tip Top Santa Parade did not disappoint.

We met up with Stef, Rich and Daisy and we watched as the most amazing festive creations passed by. Last year we stood in 22 degrees, this year peaked at 19 degrees - and naughtily we have the sun burn yet again to show for it!

It still takes a while to get used to but we are ready for another Christmas New Zealand style!
