It's Christmas Eve! Merry Christmas Everybody!!
We found an oyster farmer nearby, and we have been enjoying this fine delicacy. Tonight I made oyster stew for Christmas Eve. It's been a family tradition for as long as I can remember. We still marvel at the holiday season in the southern hemisphere. Kiwis celebrate Christmas with summer picnics on the beaches.
This will be our 5th Christmas in the warm weather. I must admit though, it's been unusually cold here this year. We have been chilly, especially in the mornings. Sleeping under the heavy quilt has been a pleasant change from the equatorial heat.
We sincerely wish everyone a happy holiday and hope everyone finds time to enjoy the season!

This smallest of nations has people with big hearts. Niue is unique in its beautiful caves and chasms. Lush jungles and Humpback whales add to this amazing place.
