Christmas mood I’ve seen a few Christmas decorations here and there around Auckland, but, honestly, not many. To me, it feels like people here decorate their houses more for Halloween than for Christmas. Maybe the summer weather dampens people’s enthusiasm for celebrating Christmas and New Year. That’s the only explanation I can think of. It could also be that I’ve just been unlucky and haven’t seen the best examples of decorations. Please prove me wrong and share beautiful Christmas and New Year’s decorations in the comments, both from New Zealand and overseas. (Russian)
