Merry Christmas to you from New Zealand, or as we say in Te Reo Māori (the Māori language):
Meri Kirihimete!
It's summer here, and the Christmas season here is traditionally a time to gather with friends and whānau (family) around the BBQ and head to the beach or lakes for some quality time in the sun and sand. Given so many of the traditional images of Christmas come from the northern hemisphere, we like to call ours an 'upside down Christmas'.
Wherever you are in the world, thank you for following along on my blog. I hope you continue to find something here of use or interest in the coming year.
I'll resume posting sometime in January. Until then, and regardless of whether or not the birth of Christ is something you celebrate, I pray you find peace and reconciliation where it's needed during this festive season.
Many blessings,
Luke

May the Spirit of peace dwell in your heart, your home, and even your hobbies. Merry Christmas!
