Matt's Christmas
Work sponsored Christmas party - for me this means wearing a sweater, which doesn't work well in summer, but old habits die hard. There was some caroling, but Kiwi's seem to prefer Lady Gaga to Rudolph, and dancing to chatting. Christmas in summer makes it a very different experience!
Christmas day I was at the hospital working and experienced the Kiwi tradition of Christmas Fairies - orderlies dressed in drag chasing you with a water cannon while some guy in a kilt plays "Scotland the Brave."
Kosette's Christmas
Meet Caz and James, a Scottish girl and her Aussie partner (not a bogan). Caz works with Matt, but I commandeered her as my friend. While Matt was hard at work Christmas day, I was eating beef wellington with Caz, James, and their family. It was so nice to be part of their Christmas and to be treated like family. They are incredible friends and we are so happy to have them here.
