Some signs of a Wellington Christmas

There was some sign of Christmas cheer in Wellington: carollers were singing at the airport, including my old friend Jim Lynch (bald guy in the back row with a beard); and a Christmas tree—not a terribly huge one but one is better than none for the season!

This is really a nice touch. :-) I haven't flown anywhere since I was traveling between LAX & TUS [Tucson].

Nice to keep the season in mind whilst on transit. Kind of gives a 'constant' to one's mind.

Merry Christmas Jack my man. Here's to another year of interesting and insightful articles from yourself!

Best Regards,

I stand by my opinion that Christmas is more Christmassy in the northern hemisphere winter.

I grew up in Los Angeles where sometimes it's warm but normal is 60F.

What phone cam are you using. The quality could be a tad bit better. Is it time for you to upgrade?

Xmangerm, as you know, I hate cellphones. I don’t really care for them and personally think they cause cancer. I use a real camera for things I want to keep; all these are are fun images for which quality is not a priority for me.

Interesting to see the carollers, Jack. Here in the States, such a sight would be rare indeed, thanks to a hypersensitivity toward church v. state matters. Also, Great shots as usual!

It is sad to hear about the carollers being rarer there. The economy has affected carolling here, rather than political correctness. A friend of mine sings and she was paid last year for a few weeks to perform for her workplace. This year, I believe it was cut to a few days.
