Don't know about your Gran, but I remember those from my childhood! Showing my age there...

Christmas in NZ is a rather surreal experience - snowmen and bikinis - you get the idea... I was in Australia recently experiencing 30 degrees C plus and they were playing Jingle Bells... However, in recent years there has been a tendency to use more summer like imagery on cards. Here's a link to a picture of a pohutukawa tree which is known as 'the NZ Christmas tree'.

Enjoy!

That tree is ever so familiar! Probably my Grandma again. She visited New Zealand a couple of times when my Uncle and his family lived there. I've probably seen pictures before...

Anyway, nice to hear from you Jeanette - how's it going down under?
