We are very grateful for our host mom, Colleen, for inviting us to spend Christmas with her and her family.

Andrew and I decided to keep some of our family traditions from home and exchange pajamas the night before Christmas and do stockings from Santa Christmas morning. We kept everything in our room and exchanged gifts in the morning before breakfast.
I got a new surf shirt! I'm excited to try it next month when we learn to surf at Raglan. The families were all quite generous and we had a few gifts to open, even at our hosts Christmas tree. There hadn't been a Christmas tree set up, so Andrew and I created a tree from clippings we had made in the garden. It really felt like a ten year old going "If I can't find a tree, I'll make one instead!". After we were done with gifts, we played a few Christmas themed games, had lunch outside, then relaxed in the pool for awhile. We finished off the night with dessert and board games.
